“Succession” duo Peter Friedman and David Rasche, who played Logan Roy loyalists Frank Vernon and Karl Muller on the HBO drama, reunite in the upcoming short film “Elderwood.”

From director Luke Gardiner, the 15-minute film also stars Laura Esterman (“Addams Family Values,” “I Know This Much Is True”). It follows Atticus, “a reserved widower whose quiet routine is interrupted when a free-spirited couple moves in next door, leading to an unexpected coming of age in his old age,” according to the logline.

The short was co-written by Gardiner and Lucia Perri and filmed at the Drum Hill Senior Living facility in Peekskill, New York.

Esterman praised Gardiner as a director with an “obviously clear vision of the world” and said of the project: “Playing characters as original and fresh as this, with two actors whose work I love was a pleasure.”

“It’s a very unusual script, very interesting and moving, and I thought Peter and Laura were absolutely wonderful,” Rasche added. “I think everyone had a great time doing it, and certainly the actors did too.”

And Friedman said, “I’ve never seen a story like that before.”

Gardiner said in a statement: “Throughout my teenage years, I watched my grandparents navigate the complicated and messy romances that so often arise in senior living communities. Oddly enough, it felt like we were living parallel lives while I experienced my own emotional turbulence during those coming-of-age years. With ‘Elderwood,’ I wanted to explore that parallel by projecting the well-established visual language of coming-of-age films onto an unfamiliar canvas: senior living.”

He continued: “Central to that process was finding an active community like Drum Hill Senior Living, whose residents and atmosphere we continually learned from, and assembling an extraordinary cast like Peter, David and Laura. Despite their decades of experience, they embraced the long days of independent filmmaking and put their trust in a filmmaker about a quarter their age.”

“Elderwood” was produced by Oliver Schneider and Casey Friedman’s February Problem Films, a new independent production company in New York, alongside Jack Levine, Haiba Khan and Joe Meyer. Isaac F. Davis’ IACON Pictures provided production services.
