Almost twelve years ago, Rhode Island Monthly covered a dinner party at the home of Claudine Pepin and Rollie Wesen in Barrington. They cooked a lovely summer meal on their patio under the shade of wisteria. Claudine is the daughter of the famous French chef Jacques Pepin, and Claudine and Rollie’s daughter, Shorey, was nine at the time. Now she’s in college in Paris! Claudine appeared on many episodes of “Cooking with Claudine” with her father, as did Shorey.

In today’s post-COVID world of stunted social interaction, especially for children, it’s a gesture that feels like it’s from a bygone era.

While it feels like Rhode Island has become a mini, East Coast Hollywood as of late, I can’t say that a M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks supernatural romance collab featuring Jake Gyllenhaal was on my Bingo card for Little Rhody’s next big film venture. Yet, here we are. The Rhode Island Film and TV Office announced on Thursday that the Blinding Edge Pictures thriller is set to film in the Ocean State this summer.
