Stage 32 Grown Up Movies

Stage 32 Grown Up Movies

Objective

Gidden Media and Stage 32 are looking for a wide range of all genres designed to appeal to the 50 and over audience. They can be movies for moms (BAD MOMS) to movies for retirees (BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL). They can be comedies, historical dramas (like THE POST or GREEN BOOK), or mystery/crime stories (like MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS). Danny Boyle's recent box office success YESTERDAY is another example. Gidden is open to inspirational drama, comedy, romantic comedy movies about second chances or second acts, starting over in life, etc.

In short, we are looking for original, uplifting movies for the over 50 demographic!

According to an AARP study, moviegoers over 50 make up 1/3 of all theatre seats in the US! And if you can believe it, the oldest members of Gen X are in their 50s! Yet this audience is completely underserved with quality material! With your help, we aim to fix that problem!

If you have a story that you feel speaks to this audience- or been thinking about writing one - this is the perfect opportunity to get you and your screenplay the exposure you desire!
