Rotten Apples

2026 · 12 min

A cringe-comic sprint through vanity and obligation, funny and uncomfortable in equal measure, with a quiet ache underneath.

Directed by
Sean Finan
Overview
When Eddie, a successful but insecure actor, is saddled with his Alzheimer's-stricken father after he’s kicked out of Rotten Apples, a nursing home for emotionally inept old men, he must figure out the fastest way to get rid of him—in time for his life-changing Zoom audition with Darren Aronofsky, a role which could finally get him the Award he has always dreamed of.
