Romy Reiner stars in Tristen Tarp's short film 'Getting to That Age.' Courtesy of Filmmakers After appearing as a nurse on Larry David’s HBO series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness last week in the final episode, Romy Reiner‘s resumé is expanding in 2026 with a starring role opposite Carter Jenkins and Emmy nominees Sharon Lawrence and Matt Walsh in Getting to That Age.
The short film comes from fledgling filmmaker Tristen Tarp, who directed from her own script. Getting to That Age casts Reiner as an anxiety-ridden only child who returns home for the holidays to announce her engagement, only to discover that her parents are set to divorce. The story is meant to explores the collision between personal milestones and family upheaval. See the short’s first teaser and a selection of first-look images below.

Tarp, who has also worked as a playwright, helmed Getting to That Age after another previous short, her debut Bark starring Monica Potter, Alfonso Caballero and Jennifer Sherer.
“Bringing together this cast and creative team was a rewarding journey that meant a great deal to me. Between Sharon’s incredible emotional gravitas, Carter’s natural instinct for toeing the line between humor and cynicism, and Romy and Matt’s dry wit, this talented ensemble perfectly captured the nuance that this family dynamic demanded,” Tarp said in a statement. “I’m deeply proud of how this story illustrates society’s perceptions of aging, relationships, and success, and I’m eager for audiences to see how it sparks reflection and introspection.”
The short was produced by Marked Atlas Pictures, Jumpsuit Pictures and Frances Komoda. Executive producer credits belong to Tarp, Geneva Willis, Beck Bennion, Sami Moughrabie, Charles Mudd, Katherine Mudd and Hailey Bailey with associate producer credits belonging to Madi Walser and Shalyn Delhaes.
Reiner has worked on other short films like The Underwater Halloween Movie, Pterry, Whole and the upcoming The Auschwitz Bagel. She’s been seen in projects like Things Like This, You People, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Voices. She was most recently seen throwing out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game alongside brother Jake Reiner, marking the siblings’ highest-profile outing after their parents, Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and wife Michele, were tragically killed last December.
Jenkins’ credits include Famous in Love, Women of the Movement, The Shadow Diaries, Mad Men, The Following, Sweet/Vicious, After Ever Happy, After Everything and Paws in the City.
