Departing Seniors is a comedy horror film distributed by Dark Sky Films. Mexican-American and queer, high school student Javier doesn’t exactly fit in with the popular kids. But he might be the only one who can save them. After an act of bullying sends Javier to the hospital, he begins experiencing visions that foresee glimpses of shocking murders at his school right before they happen. Now, in between navigating the social hierarchies and prejudices of clique culture, Javier (Primo’s Ignacio Diaz-Silverio) and his best friend Bianca (Candyman’s Ireon Roach) must try to unmask a serial killer before he strikes again.  Departing Seniors puts a fresh spin on teen slasher movies like Scream and Freaky, updating them by putting its queer protagonist and characters of color front and center. It’s a horror-comedy with a sarcastic, whip-smart edge and appealingly complex characters.  The film stars Ignacio Diaz-Silvero, Ireon Roach, Yani Gellman, Maisie Merlock, Cameron Roberts, Sasha Kuznetsov, and more. Departing Seniors is directed by Clare Cooney and written by Jose Nateras. Clare Cooney, Jose Nateras, Kelly Ann Parker, and Dashawna Wright are producers for Departing Seniors.  Departing Seniors is releasing in select theaters and on VOD/PVOD on February 2, 2024.
