Toronto Premiere!
Silver Screamers
is a heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a group of spirited senior citizens
as they embark on an extraordinary adventure far outside their comfort zones: creating a horror film.
In a quaint
retirement community, a diverse group of retirees find themselves yearning for excitement and creative
expression in their golden years. Led by a local filmmaker in their community, the seniors pool their talents and
resources to produce a short horror film that will defy expectations and challenge stereotypes.
As they dive into
the world of filmmaking, they encounter unexpected obstacles and hilariously unforgettable moments. From
mastering special effects on a shoestring budget to navigating the complexities
of on-set drama, each step of
their journey is filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a few hair-raising surprises.
But
Silver Screamers
is more
than just a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a movie. It's a celebration of friendship, resilience, and
the
timeless power of creativity. As these senior citizens confront their fears and push the boundaries of what they
thought possible, they inspire audiences of all ages to embrace the adventure that life has to offer, no matter how
old you are.
Join us on this unforgettable cinematic journey as
Silver Screamers
proves that age is just a number
when it comes to following your dreams and making your mark on the world
The short film, The Rug, will follow the screening of Silver Screamers.
