Director’s bio:
Brian Russell grew up in Connecticut. He is a Director and Director of ‘Photography’, who knows he should focus, but loves all kinds of production. Now in his 50s, he is hoping it isn’t too late to make more memorable movies!
He has shot over 2,000 interviews, and thus far has accumulated hundreds of credits to his name; ranging from the ESPN 30 for 30 short, The Counterfeiter, to celebrities like Arianna Huffington, Ed Burns, and the entire cast of Saturday Night Live, just to name a few.
Older adults are among our most valuable citizens. But as Buddy says in the film, “the options are not kind. Loneliness, irrelevance, invisibility.” Too many older people are discarded, and for me, this film was an exploration … albeit an absurd one … of the need to keep living right up until the end. I was also fortunate to have two Tony Award winning veterans who wanted to be part of this wacky little movie. Making it even more fun, the widows in the film are played by the real-life spouses of Gaines and Naughton.
