'In Life' consists of three video portraits of artists creating original work in their later years. Featuring writer Betsy Cox, painter Goh Beng Kwan, and pianist Leanne Rees, the film captures their artistic vantage points and offers perspectives into their processes for their most recent works.

We were inspired by Becca Levy’s research at Yale on positive age beliefs. Each artist is set within their own short film, which moves fluidly between their biographies and their present day, providing insight into the style, grit, and personas that continue to produce high-level creative work in their 80s and 90s,” said Meghan Shea of Persistent Productions. “The films show us that aging can be fuel for artistic production and hitting one’s stride, creatively speaking. We hope that viewers will  discover mentors, guides, and ideas that inspire perseverance.”
