About the Old Ladies: What happens when Erma and Ruthanne, two old women, with nothing to lose, venture out into the streets unchaperoned and unshaven? You get “Old Ladies Driving,” a fun and irreverent comedy from the minds of twin filmmakers, Shawnee and Shawnelle Gibbs.
Very loosely based on the adventures of the Gibbs’ Sisters experience growing up around their maternal grandmother and her circle of eccentric friends, Old Ladies Driving sets out to prove that life doesn’t stop after retirement—in fact, it hits the road.
They’re old, they’re cranky and they’re swirving in a lane near you. Buckle up your safety belt, dearies! When the Old Ladies are driving, there’s no telling where you’ll end up.
