Paris Brosnan and John Rhys-Davies in ‘Seniors’
An unlikely friendship takes center stage in “Seniors,” a new comedy-drama from director Lance Clark that arrived in select theaters October 23.
The film stars John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones) as Albert Vernon, a stubborn military veteran living in a retirement home and Paris Brosnan, son of actor Pierce Brosnan, as Ori Ingram, a rebellious high school senior sentenced to community service.
When Albert recruits Ori for a secret treasure hunt, the two embark on an adventure that brings together an eccentric group of older residents. Along the way, both discover unexpected lessons about friendship, forgiveness and finding purpose.
“Beneath the adventure and comedy of Seniors is a story about legacy, purpose and the unexpected relationships that can change the course of our lives,” Clark said.
Written by Erica Leigh Dick, the film also features Bethany Anne Lind and Eric Mendenhall.
Seniors marks Clark’s feature directorial debut and was produced through Forester Film, Huntington University’s film production program. More than 40 students worked alongside industry professionals, gaining hands-on experience in filmmaking.
Blending humor with a story about second chances, Seniors explores what different generations can learn from one another.
