Burt Reynolds will certainly be missed.

In one of Reynolds’ last movies, actors Eric Peterson and Polly Shannon along with director/writer Stephen Wallis address the joys of working with the late respected actor in the drama Defining Moments.

The indie film comprises an ensemble cast that involves multiple characters in multiple storylines about small decisions that factor into their lives.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A poignant story of eight very different people who are at a crossroads in life and must make decisions that will forever change who they are. Jack must decide to spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend Terri. Marina must reconnect with her aging father. Laurel must embrace her new pregnancy and come to terms with her father’s early Alzheimer’s. Lis is learning to live with MS. And Dave must learn why life is worth it.

The cast includes Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights), Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil: Afterlife, Love Actually), Graham Greene (The Green Mile, The Twilight Saga), Shawn Roberts (xXx: Return of Xander Gage, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), and Tammy Blanchard (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Into the Woods), with Eric Peterson and Polly Shannon). Stephen Wallis directed and wrote the screenplay.
