I make all of my films solo. My crew is a tripod. I keep things simple and try to avoid overly polished work. I like it rough, I like the edges to show. This piece is about aging and art.
What is the purpose of life's last act, the years after age 75?
I find it unseemly that an elder would continue to pursue the same goals and ambitions that he or she sought as a younger person. The later years offer up new horizons and new territory to explore and reflect on.
I believe the idea of play is key. In fact, maybe the last quarter of life is a bit like the first; You are simply plopped down, given some parameters and left to figure it out. When you were younger you backed into your future blindly or played at what you had a knack for, until a path opened up. Same for the later years. Play is the operative word here.
