"Old Explorers" is a delightful little movie about two old retired men, who have seen their best days, and bored out of their minds.

But they soon discover that if they meet in a certain part of the certain park, they can start imagining historical moments and then somehow are transported back into those situations.

Starring legendary actors Jose Ferrer and James Whitmore, the movie was shot in different parts of the country, including the jungle wilds of central Florida, where I met and worked with both Ferrer and Whitmore, two charming and extremely talented men. We spent a week in the Hillsborough River State Park north of Tampa filming the scenes in the film that are supposed to take place in the jungles of South America. It was not an easy shoot and the first time director complicated the filming even more. But it was a great experience.

It is not a blockbuster, and may be considered slow in some parts. But it is a nice little movie which indirectly addresses a serious problem in this country. Our seniors can too many times be not only overlooked but neglected and forgotten, thinking their best days are over and that the only thing left is to wait for death. It's a sad fact and something that needs to be reexamined by everyone. Call your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or check in on a neighbor TODAY!
