Review by Pamela Zoslov
The
little town of Amherst, Ohio, population 12,112, bills itself as
“Sandstone Capital of the World.” It's the setting of THE BRONZE, an independent comedy starring Melissa Rauch, the mighty
four-foot-eleven actress from the TV sitcom The Big Bang
Theory. Rauch wrote the script with her husband, Winston
Rauch (who took her surname name when they married). Bryan Buckley
directed.
A
favorable tax credit enticed the production to Ohio, and the crew
availed itself of the historic city's quaint downtown and residential
neighborhoods in 2014. Amherst's mayor, David Taylor, was delighted,
telling the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram,
“This is the first time Amherst has ever had something of this
magnitude. We're very excited about it.”
