Story Films is
launching its new romantic comedy
movie PLAY THE GAME with a search for South Florida’s Most Romantic
Senior Couple.
PLAY THE GAME stars entertainment icons Andy Griffith and Doris Roberts, and
Seinfeld’s Liz Sheridan. Also starring Battlestar
Gallactica’s Paul Campbell and Marla Sokoloff of The Practice, the movie shines a heartwarming
and surprisingly honest light on seniors as they go through the same
excitement, jitters, and challenges as their 20-something grandchildren when it
comes to romance, sex and love.

Writer/director Marc Fienberg commented “We usually
don’t think of our parents and grandparents as feeling all the same
emotions that we feel, but dating and falling in love never changes – the
feelings are the same no matter what age you are. That’s why we decided
to search for South Florida’s Most Romantic Senior Couple; we thought
hearing their stories would be fun and in the spirit of the couples in the
movie.”
Marc speaks from experience: PLAY THE GAME was inspired by his relationship
with his own grandfather, who resided in a South Florida retirement home and
started dating at age 89, with help and advice from his grandson.
PLAY THE GAME received its World Premiere at the recent Fort Lauderdale
International Movie Festival, where it walked away with the Audience Favorite
Award. The following month, the movie won the Audience Award at the Santa Fe
Movie Festival.
