In Life

‘In Life’ reveals the vibrant artistic worlds of writer Betsy Cox, painter Goh Beng Kwan, and pianist Leeanne Rees, showcasing how their later years are marked by renewed creativity and mastery, proving that aging can fuel extraordinary artistic achievement.

The ‘In Life’ film series consists of three video portraits of artists creating original work in their later years. Featuring; writer Betsy Cox, painter Goh Beng Kwan, and pianist Leeanne Rees the films capture their artistic vantage points and give perspective into their processes for their most recent works. 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. The films show us that aging can be fuel for artistic production and hitting one’s stride creatively speaking. 


The intended audience is; film lovers, artists, art appreciators, musicians, and anyone interested in how living well in later years can continue to center on those pursuits most important to us in our younger years. 

Audiences of all ages are widely welcomed as are those who want to challenge ageist stereotypes and conventional wisdom.
