The good news: After years of dreaming of directing his own feature film, Mystic native Nico Raineau has done it.
He helmed “Hooking Up,” a new romantic comedy starring Brittany Snow (whose credits include the “Pitch Perfect” films) and Sam Richardson (“Veep”).
The not-so-good news: The movie was scheduled to open Friday in 10 theaters around the country, but that won't be happening because of coronavirus closures.
