Romy Reiner Stars in New Short Film “Getting to That Age”

“Getting to That Age” is a short film directed from her own script by emerging filmmaker Tristen Tarp. The story follows Romy Reiner as an anxiety-ridden only child who returns home for the holidays to announce her engagement, only to learn that her parents are about to divorce. The narrative is intended to examine how personal milestones intersect with family upheaval and broader societal views on aging, relationships, and success.

The production’s press materials emphasize the cast’s “dry wit” and “emotional gravitas” as essential to portraying the family dynamic. The short follows Tarp’s earlier work, including the debut short “Bark” and adds to Reiner’s recent résumé, which also lists appearances in “The Underwater Halloween Movie,” “Pterry,” “Whole,” and the upcoming “The Auschwitz Bagel.” Reiner’s profile has been further highlighted by a public appearance throwing the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game with her brother Jake Reiner, the siblings’ highest-profile outing after the tragic death of their parents, Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, last December.

> “Bringing together this cast and creative team was a rewarding journey that meant a great deal to me. Between Sharon’s incredible emotional gravitas, Carter’s natural instinct for toeing the line between humor and cynicism, and Romy and Matt’s dry wit, this talented ensemble perfectly captured the nuance that this family dynamic demanded,” — Tristen Tarp
