Actor/screenwriter Shayne Pax is previewing his movie “Peridot” on his YouTube channel pending its October release.
Shayne, who also is a model, made the film, which is named after the August gemstone, based on two distinct films that leave a powerful impact on the viewer: the 1971 romance/comedy “Harold and Maude,” involving a young man played by Bud Cort and an older woman played by Ruth Gordon, and the 1991 film “My Own Private Idaho,” a gritty story about two traveling companions portrayed by Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix, the late older brother of Joaquin Phoenix.
He described the film as an homage to both films with a modern flair.
The film’s plot entails Shayne’s character Gabriel developing a friendship with an older woman. He said the heartwarming tale tackles tough subject matter in a unique presentation.
