The International Network of Creative Seniors & Affiliates is comprised of seasoned professionals who in concert with emerging talent, construct a globally recognized entertainment community based on Honor, Compassion, and Mutal Respect.  Our commitment to the industry encompasses all forms of technical and artistic expression including but not limited to stage, radio, television and film.  We will learn, celebrate, and elevate the standards of conduct for performers and executives within our Creative Community.

Let's be real, aging is what one makes it. To prove that aging is a journey worth celebrating, The International Network of Creative Seniors & Affiliates (pronounced In-C-Sa) is launching its first “Reel Senior Moments” Film Festival. INCSA was created to honor the wisdom, skills, and life stories of individuals age 50 and beyond. All entries must have either: 1) been written by a senior, 2) have at least one principal actor over the age of 50, or 3) been directed by a senior. Multi-generational collaboration with Affiliates (individuals under the age of 50) and portrayal of cultural issues is encouraged. And since INCSA was formed in San Antonio, Texas, USA a "military friendly" town, we will be honored to feature a Veteran team entry.

    A friend suggested I submit - one if the subjects in our doc is 79. We were thrilled to be programmed and thrilled to win an award. We were sorry we couldn’t be at the festival in person but everyone has been very kind and communication has been solid.

    Hi Lorraine, who would have thought we'd be reading scripts at the San Antonio Film Festival last year and then your film was swimming away with an award from our Reel Senior Moments judges! I sure hope you both go for it next year. We're looking into other venues and will strive to give a two month notice so more people will be able to attend. Thanks again for your support. We hope to see more of your work soon. Cheri

    It eas great beng recognized as a quaterfinalist, but it would also be helpful to know who else was a quarterfinalist, and who advanced to later rounds.

    Thanks for your feedback. I am in the process of sending programs for April & May and sample certificates for winners to choose from today. I sent yours a few moments ago. Please check your spam folder if you don't see an email from in_csa@outlook.com. I intend to send out laurels which can be displayed with future entries tomorrow. And I've placed a request with IMDb to add Reel Senior Moments Film Festival and will add a credit as soon as they grant me access. I hope I've covered all the bases but, if not please let me know. Next year we hope to receive a 5-star rating from you. Continued success. Cheri
