Did you know that feature films are being made right here in Northeast Indiana?🍿

Starring John Rhys-Davis (seen in Lord of the Rings) and Paris Brosnan (Yes, he's a Brosnan), Seniors Movie is coming to a theater near you this weekend! Huntington University and Forester Film's latest award-winning movie was filmed in Northeast Indiana alongside over 40 HU film production students getting hands-on experience in the industry.

The film's director, Lance Clark, was named our Brand Champion Category winner this year! We are proud to have a true pioneer like Lance here in Northeast Indiana.

Seniors is a family-friendly film that follows a rebellious high school senior who is sentenced to court-ordered community service at a retirement home; the last thing he expects to find is a friend. But a chance encounter with a troubled war veteran turns obligation into something neither of them saw coming.

As their unlikely bond deepens, both men are forced to confront the pasts they've been running from — and discover that no matter how old you are, it's never too late to find purpose, healing and hope.

We loved having Belle & Callie from the NEI team in the shop today! 👋

They got an inside look at our machines, processes, and the many ways we can help businesses bring their brands to life — from promotional products and custom apparel to awards, signage, and more. They even got to take home a few things made right here while they were visiting!
