A fathers consciousness, retired to a virtual meta-verse, reaches out to his estranged son to heal their old wounds. Can the technology of tomorrow make up for the missed moments in our past?

SYNOPSIS:

Assisted Living is a touching, fun and futuristic father son drama that is set in the not so distant future. When Levi’s recently deceased father’s computer simulator keeps crashing, causing problems for the staff, an estranged son is forced to enter his father’s metaverse himself to fix it or risk having his father come live at home with him. What he finds there are all of his father’s memories and through those memories he gets the opportunity of reliving his father’s life. Old wounds that prevented the two men from understanding each other in life may offer a second chance in death. If only the son can figure out the cause of the glitch.

Assisted Living follows many of the problems adult children face as they transition their parents into retirement homes and the challenges elderly parents go through adjusting to the isolation of a new community far from their families and loved ones. But in this case it isn’t a home at all. It is a computer simulator the father’s consciousness is living in after death.

Tonally, this film should highlight what we love about many different popular movies of the past, only reimagined for the technology of tomorrow. It should have hints of great father son movies like Big Fish, the futuristic quality of Black Mirror, and the fun of re-living and changing the past that was made famous in Back to the Future. Only this time the past isn’t the 1950’s but the 1990’s.
