Documentary Film JUNIOR Out on VOD, Aug 13

A new film from Cinedigm called JUNIOR will be out on VOD on August 13th.

JUNIOR is a documentary at its core about the relationship between and mother and son but it goes so much deeper than by showing how they grow old while finding a way to stay young. And you might have heard something about "Ma" / Josephine Belasco from a few years ago when she graduated High School late in life (in her 90's), then went on Kimmel, among other interviews.

Synopsis: Eddie Belasco is a 75-year-old Italian-American who seems to have jumped from the pages of a Scorsese script, except he lives with his 98-year-old "Ma," Josephine. Luckily, their senses of humor match their levels of irritability. Together they fight and laugh in equal measures as the difficulties of aging and living in a changing neighborhood catch up with them. Eddie was always one to love the limelight, trying his hand at acting and managing topless female rock bands and now is running a non-profit theatre group for young people. In the meantime, the spotlight is squarely on Josephine, with the local press running to her as she finally gets her High School diploma.

In JUNIOR, acclaimed cinematographer Jenna Rosher makes her directorial debut by deftly capturing the bond between this odd couple and crafts a hilarious and touching portrait of growing old while staying young. After spending time with Eddie and Josephine, you will be unable to resist the urge to hug the closest mother you can find.
