(PRWEB) October 30, 2014 -- CSU, Northridge Professor Luciana Lagana has won an honorable mention award for her ‘Dr. Luciana Show – Aging and Falling’ at this year’s International Independent Film Awards. In this particular webisode, Dr. Luciana explores the many different ways seniors can prevent serious falls. In doing so, she talks to experts from the fields of kinesiology, chiropractic care, and martial arts and presents a list of techniques seniors can use to reduce the risk of life-threatening tumbles. “Because falling is the main cause of injuries in older age,” said Dr. Luciana, “I am absolutely thrilled that a program of this nature has fared so well at film festivals – this being our fourth win.”
Describing the Dr. Luciana show as independent film making at its best, International Independent Film Awards director William Johnson notes that the Dr. Luciana show “is impressive because it tackles important topics in a fun, creative and informative way.” Information about the International Independent Film Awards and a list of recent winners can be found at http://www.iifilmawards.com/Awards.html.
