Greg Young is a filmmaker who retired in 2002 after 27 years as an award winning design director for the University of California, Berkeley, to pursue his passion for documentary film making. His second documentary, Still Kicking, reflects his interest in character driven stories. Shooting all hand-held digital video allows Young more intimacy with his subjects, and gives him the ability to be less invasive during the shoot.

He enjoys making small canvas documentaries revealing human qualities and big picture perspectives that we develop as we get older. Young (59) lives and edits from his central coast studio in Pacific Grove, California.

Aging Artfully is the synthesis of Amy Gorman's experience working with aging and in the arts. Her work as a young speech therapist at V.A. Hospitals and later as a medical social worker with dementia and Alzheimer's patients led to her service as a board member at Lifelong Medical Care/Over 60 Clinic in Oakland, California, which addresses the medical and social needs of the aged. Amy founded Kidshows in 1982, a nonprofit arts organization, to introduce children to the arts, live theater, music, dance and storytelling. During her 18 years as its Executive Director, the professional performers she worked with shared many concerns about getting older and whether or not they could continue earning a living in their chosen art form.
