Gravitas Ventures dropped a trailer today for its upcoming feature film Mack & Rita. The film tells the story of Mack, who has always believed she is an old soul trapped in a young woman’s body. When Mack’s wish to be older is fulfilled, she discovers that being older is not as perfect as she expected it to be. The official synopsis can be found below:
When 30-year-old self-proclaimed homebody Mack Martin (Elizabeth Lail) reluctantly joins a Palm Springs bachelorette trip for her best friend Carla (Taylour Paige), her inner 70-year-old is released — literally. The frustrated writer and influencer magically transforms into her future self: “Aunt Rita” (Oscar winner Diane Keaton). Freed from the constraints of other people’s expectations, Rita comes into her own, becoming an unlikely social media sensation and sparking a tentative romance with Mack’s adorable dog-sitter, Jack (Dustin Milligan). A sparkling comedy with a magical twist, Mack & Rita celebrates being true to yourself at any age.
The film is directed by Kate Aselton and written by Madeline Walter and Paul Welsh. In the cast, along with Diane Keaton, are Loretta Devine, Simon Rex, Amy Hill, Lois Smith, and Wendie Malick.
