Senior Citizens Film Their First Feature

[steve gelder]

Hey, All!

I host an Internet radio show in my "spare" time, and recently had two guests on who I realize could be inspirational or interesting to some in this group. They are filmmakers Nancy Hanks (no relation) and Sue Upperco of the southern California group, Dollhouse Productions. They are currently in the process of trying to put together their first feature film, as many here have or will. The big difference?

They're both in their mid-sixties.

They're still trying to make their dreams come true during their "retirement" years...what's your excuse...?

Wasn't this an episode of This American Life? Very cool nonetheless.

I love hearing stories like this, Steve. Thanks for putting it out there!

 

[Ernest Worthing]

Wonderful! I wish them the best of luck.

Nothing is going to stop me either... except death, i suppose. Bummer.

Very inspiring. Love how the "filmmaker demographic" is a wide spectrum of ages.

 

[Flicker Pictures]

That's cool! Good info, Steve.

I've tuned in to some of your archived shows and really enjoyed them.

Thanks, Everyone, and special thanks for posting the link to the archives, Jeff. I haven't really pushed the show here, since it doesn't focus often on filmmaking, but this one seemed like a natural.

Great stuff, Steve! I have Independent Thinking bookmarked and the podcasts are perfect for the office.

Well, some episodes aren't exactly safe for work, but most of those are labeled "explicit"... thanks for listening!
