Background

In 2024, I told you about a documentary being made about me: “Want to be interviewed in a film?” So much has happened since then! Deirdre Fishel and her talented crew visited me twice, a year apart, three days each time. They filmed me working on my Senior Planet column, doing media interviews, consulting with a senior with sex questions, even teaching my line dance class.

 

 

My private life was also filmed: from mundane things like washing my face to sexy highlights of enticing my partner to an afternoon delight. We did multiple interviews, and you’ll learn plenty about my life; my feelings; my views on aging, grief, and sex; my commitment to senior sex education.

 

 

Can you help?

The film is almost done, and I’m thrilled about it! But here’s the thing: it has become extremely difficult for independent films to get grants and other funding, despite the filmmaker’s stellar reputation and the quality of this movie. This has slowed down completion of the film. If my work has been valuable to you, or if you think a film about sex-positivity in older age needs to be out in the world, I hope you’ll donate here to move it to completion. Even a little bit helps!

 

What was it like being filmed for a documentary? My answer.
