This newly produced short documentary film is about when most people reaches retirement age, some dedicated artists, musicians and martial artists continue to work on their art forms that they have loved for their entire lives.
We’d like to show how we live proudly in this world of young culture, and how the later chapter of life could be the greatest one!
We love to have this documentary film with their extraordinary stories inspire people of the young and old.

Review by Adam Resnick
I really enjoyed this documentary sent to me by my friend and martial arts legend, Frank Allen! I plan to send it to my good friend, who is a filmmaker, as well as my parents.
One theme I picked up is a variation of what Frank said at his 75th birthday party in the film (“Getting older is a lot better than dying!”): if you’re not living, you’re dying. Everyone in the documentary didn’t let “years” stop them from living. Very inspiring.
A lot of beautiful scenery and performances. I particularly enjoyed the scene with Frank and Moritz in the Frankenstein Castle. It was such a beautiful setting and hearing two martial artists first talking, then doing form together, then doing connective push hands-like and bagua play felt perhaps not “ageless” but timeless to me.
Each section offered their individual paths: the martial artists, the musicians, the creative and performing artist. Seeing the three generations of the mothers and daughters on the wall with their different settings and feel illustrated how while the “years” progress through and in different bodies, that in a way—despite having different paths, journeys, and bodies—we are all in the same boat of aging sailing towards a different shore.
I was happy to see Frank being loved, appreciated, and honored, as I met him in my martial arts fight competition days and he always offered me kindness, respect, and sort, even when I was on a competing fight team than his students.
One scene and statement in the film reminded me of the first Osho quote I copied on the cover of a notebook of mine before I really knew who he was and fell in love with him. He said, “Abundance is being satisfied with what you have.”
I’m grateful that Frank shared not only this documentary with me, but also himself; that over the “years” I’ve gotten to learn not just martial arts concepts from him, but can call him my friend as well. 🖤🤎🩶
