With the ecstatic reviews for his second film, 'Cha Cha Real Smooth,' Dallas-raised Cooper Raiff suddenly has everyone's attention in Hollywood.
Actress Dakota Johnson, left, and filmmaker and actor Cooper Raiff of upcoming film Cha Cha Real Smooth, stand for a portrait at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, Calif. Saturday, April 30, 2022. The comedy-drama, written, directed and starred by Raiff and co-edited with Johnson, is slated to be released on June 17, 2022 on Apple TV+.
Raiff is also a triple-threat in his sophomore film, “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” in theaters and on Apple TV+. “Cha Cha Real Smooth” is his first movie’s chronological kin: Raiff plays Andrew, a newly minted college graduate who, in lieu of getting a real job, moves back home to suburban New Jersey and starts working as a “party starter” at bar and bat mitzvahs. It’s during one of these hype-man gigs that he meets and forms a relationship with 30-something Domino and her autistic daughter, Lola .
So the story goes, after Raiff made a 56-minute version of his first movie while a sophomore at Occidental College, he tweeted a YouTube link of it to filmmaker Jay Duplass. The indie maestro became a mentor to Raiff, helping him turn the no-budget short into a fully fledged feature that won the Grand Jury Prize for best narrative feature at the South by Southwest film festival.
