Hartford natives’ Sundance-winning Ricky brings a Connecticut story to theaters

The independent feature follows a man returning to society after incarceration and draws on Frett’s Hartford experience. It was filmed in Hartford, East Hartford, Middletown, Bloomfield, and Cheshire.

Ricky’s path from a Connecticut-rooted creative team to a Sundance directing award and national release is exactly the kind of local-to-national production story the state’s film community should track.

The film’s current release and screening information should be confirmed with the distributor or theaters.
