Full Description:

Unity Center of Vero Beach invites the public to a screening of Kirk Douglas' final movie, "Illusion." The indie film tells the story of how our decisions shape our lives. Douglas plays Donald Baines, a legendary Hollywood film director on his deathbed when he gets a visit from the spirit of his deceased editor Stan Ron Marasco. Baines is given the opportunity to see the son he never knew, the illegitimate offspring of a one-night stand. He has three visions of him: as a gawky teenager, a Goth punk, and finally, as a man about to be released from prison. It is at this crossroad that his father can enter his son's life and help him make a right decision. Emmy-winner Michael Goorjian (Party of Five), who wrote and directed the movie, plays the son, Christopher Baines. Movie fanatics will rejoice in the set-up for Baine's journey through time. Everyone's past is captured on film, the kind that came on reels and was projected onto the screen, like in a vintage movie theater. Tickets are $10. Showtimes and locations are: Unity of Vero, 950 43rd St. March 24 and 28 at 7pm.
