Working artists, all between 70-95 years old, share insights into the creative process as they face the challenges of aging. The film captures their passion for art and for life... an inspiration to old and young, artists and art lovers.
Years in the Making introduces a group of 50 feisty, professional artists who live within a few miles of each other. All between the ages of 70 and 95 years old, they are still passionate about their art and their need to produce new work. They talk about the challenges they faced to become artists originally and the new challenges that come with age. And what eventful lives they have lived. Some document how the Great Depression, World War ll, the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movement impacted their lives and their art. Others tell about confronting illness and aging with creativity, finding new ways to ways to express themselves. Years in the Making is a joyful documentary providing insights into the creative process and the impact of art throughout various stages of life. It is a kaleidoscope of the artists, their works and their diverse personalities. Alternately pensive and humorous, the film inspires us to seize the day and to celebrate artists who are journeying through late life creativity. Narrated by Keir Dullea with music by composer, Paul Alan Levi, this Martin West production presents a vast array of the visual arts including painters, sculptors, mixed media artists, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic designers and photographers who have spent decades nurturing their talents and creating works that have gained national and international recognition.
