Actors Terrence Terrell, Jayne Taini, Sachin Bhatt, Mario Cantone and William Sadler have been cast in the seaside dramedy "The Summer They Came", which is now in post-production. The film, directed by America Young and written by executive producer Nick Wauters, is an adaptation of William Storandt's novel and marks the culmination of nearly two decades of development work by Wauters to bring the story to the screen.

The story follows a struggling Rhode Island seaside town that unexpectedly becomes a popular LGBTQ+ summer destination, with the influx of visitors triggering humour, heartbreak, romance and lasting change for its residents. Principal photography took place this summer in New Milford, Connecticut, and surrounding areas. D.B. Levin produces, with Wauters executive-producing through Man on the Moon Productions, while Derek Caldwell, Jonathan Carkeek and Greg Weiss produce via Curation Entertainment alongside several co-producers.
