Younglings

younglings

Written by Rev. Dr. Lord Samuel Rudolph, Jeff Beauvoir; Directed by Stuart Baker; Produced by Jeff Beauvoir

In the not-too-distant future, Elroy’s deli hosts a weekly poker night with one simple rule: all players must act their age and stick to grownup topics of conversation. But these old-timers know that Star Wars will be the topic du jour. Settling this conflict could mean a turn to the dark side. Director Stuart Baker, Writer/Producer and Cracked.com contributor Jeff Beauvoir, and a wizened ensemble deliver 21st century word jousting in the style of a classic Twilight Zone episode. Produced in Seattle, Younglings is a fanboy noir that portrays today’s pop culture aficionados as geriatric nerds of the future.
