\n\tAfter appearing as a nurse on Larry David\u2019s HBO series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness last week in the final episode, Romy Reiner<\/a>\u2018s resum\u00e9 is expanding in 2026 with a starring role opposite Carter Jenkins and Emmy nominees Sharon Lawrence<\/a> and Matt Walsh<\/a> in Getting to That Age.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe short film comes from fledgling filmmaker Tristen Tarp, who directed from her own script. Getting to That Age casts Reiner as an anxiety-ridden only child who returns home for the holidays to announce her engagement, only to discover that her parents are set to divorce. The story is meant to explores the collision between personal milestones and family upheaval. See the short\u2019s first teaser and a selection of first-look images below.<\/p>\n

\n\tTarp, who has also worked as a playwright, helmed Getting to That Age after another previous short, her debut Bark starring Monica Potter, Alfonso Caballero and Jennifer Sherer. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBringing together this cast and creative team was a rewarding journey that meant a great deal to me. Between Sharon\u2019s incredible emotional gravitas, Carter\u2019s natural instinct for toeing the line between humor and cynicism, and Romy and Matt\u2019s dry wit, this talented ensemble perfectly captured the nuance that this family dynamic demanded,\u201d Tarp said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m deeply proud of how this story illustrates society\u2019s perceptions of aging, relationships, and success, and I\u2019m eager for audiences to see how it sparks reflection and introspection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe short was produced by Marked Atlas Pictures, Jumpsuit Pictures, Frances Komoda and Geneva Willis. Executive producer credits belong to Tarp, Beck Bennion, Sami Moughrabie, Charles Mudd, Katherine Mudd and Hailey Bailey with associate producer credits belonging to Madi Walser and Shalyn Delhaes.<\/p>\n

\n\tReiner has worked on other short films like The Underwater Halloween Movie, Pterry, Whole and the upcoming The Auschwitz Bagel. She\u2019s been seen in projects like Things Like This, You People, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Voices. She was most recently seen throwing out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game alongside brother Jake Reiner, marking the siblings\u2019 highest-profile outing after their parents, Hollywood icon Rob Reiner<\/a> and wife Michele, were tragically killed last December. <\/p>\n

\n\tJenkins\u2019 credits include Famous in Love, Women of the Movement, The Shadow Diaries, Mad Men, The Following, Sweet\/Vicious, After Ever Happy, After Everything and Paws in the City. <\/p>\n

\n\tBoth Walsh and Lawrence are veteran, Emmy-nominated actors. Walsh\u2019s credits include Veep, The Hangover, Reno 911!, Players, Outsourced, Hung, The Do-Over, Ghostbusters, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Ghosts, The Conners and many more. Lawrence has starred on NYPD Blue, Fired Up, Ladies Man, Monk, The Line, One Tree Hill, Rizzoli & Isles, The Ranch, Me, Myself & I, Shameless, Criminal Minds, Rebel, Dynasty, Joe Pickett, Walker and many more.<\/p>\n
