Episode description
Featuring: Tiffany Woolf, Co-Founder
"Always follow your blessings," says 103 year old Risa Igelfeld.
Carl Reiner said, "Always have something to do and stay curious."
These are two examples of the wisdom Tiffany Woolf has learned from our older generation. Tiffany’s affinity to hearing the stories of the elderly, gave her the idea to talk to capture their stories. She launched Silver Screen Studio’s and three years later. They have now produced three series of documentary shorts. You can view all the documentaries on their YouTube channel. Silver Screen’s documentary shorts inspire audiences to live a meaningful last act. They feature legendary seniors like Screenwriter Norman Lear, Actress Marion Ross, and Senator Carl Levin. The films are presented with creativity, wisdom, wit, and candor. At any age, we can learn about the past from the people who lived it. This creates space for an intergenerational dialogue that empowers, informs and entertains. Tiffany reminds us to call our loved ones regularly and capture their stories before it’s too late. Silver Screen Studios gives amazing seniors their moment in the spotlight.
Tiffany and I recorded this interview prior to Larry King’s death. Here is an article she wrote about the relationship between Larry King and her father, Bob Woolf.
