From NorthwestFilmFest alumni filmmaker Sean Cisterna (The Long Rider), 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 zone: 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, 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 an unforgettable cinematic journey as this film proves that age is just a number when it comes to following your dreams and making your mark on the world.
