Earlier this year, we screened "Gen Silent" with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center as part of their Standing in Solidarity film series. Watch the video to see the discussions ignited by leaders and community members as they address the critical issues of discrimination and marginalization faced by older LGBTQ+ adults and explore ways to ensure they receive the respect and care they deserve.

This virtual Standing in Solidarity conversation is on structural and societal barriers to healthy aging. Our PSEG True Diversity Film was Gen Silent (Stu Ma...

One of these is not like the other... All the prime lenses you need and then some! Our DP went all out with his kit and cases. It's important to have a wide range of focal lengths for a number of different shooting scenarios.

Loneliness isn’t just a trending topic—it’s an urgent issue that affects countless lives. While voices like the ones over at Vox continue to shine a light on this silent epidemic, our latest film takes a closer look at the personal stories behind the statistics. We explore the deep impact of loneliness and the resilience of those fighting it. Join us in the conversation and discover how storytelling can spark change.

No one is immune to loneliness. But some are more at risk.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at us capturing drone footage for our "Heroes of Adult Protection" story in Oregon. The sweeping mountains and dense trees create a breathtaking view. Pairing the DJI Goggles with the drone for directing would be quite the experience.

They’ve taken the initiative to introduce monthly themes focused on combating loneliness and social isolation, similar to the "Loneliness Life Hacks" featured in our film All The Lonely People. Also check out some of their different resources and best practices!

Our Social Impact Coordinator, David, has brought out the flatbed scanner to digitize some stunning color positive film for our upcoming film and docuseries, Heroes of Adult Protection (HOAP). It's amazing how detailed a 35mm slide remains, even today! These photos date as far back as the 50s and 60s. Keep an eye out—you might catch a glimpse of these scans in the full release.

Exciting news for fellow nerds and geeks (we say this with love and pride)! Playing DnD with your friends isn't just fun—it’s good for your health too. Engaging in a captivating campaign around the table is a fantastic way to connect and invest in the people and things you care about. We love to hear it! Now... roll for friendship!

Playing Dungeons & Dragons provides social connection, a creative outlet, and a sense of control that benefits their mental health, according to new research.

We got creative with our B-roll on the Oregon shoot! To capture a unique perspective, we attached a Red Cinema camera to a walking cane for an impromptu “dog cam.” Certainly a setup you don’t see every day!

Some updated photos of the top cats! 😸 Had to frame grab some scenes from a recent piece we shot. Too good of a setting and a nice shallow depth of field. 📷

Throwback to our fantastic screening of "All The Lonely People" in Putnam, NY! It wouldn't have been possible without the help of our good friends and collaborators at New York State Office for the Aging and Aging New York! We are so grateful for their voices in raising awareness around the growing epidemic of social isolation and loneliness.

A little look behind the scenes at home base. With The Clowder always on the move, we are grateful for a little bit of time with the top cats in house and we love to get creative in expressing how much we've missed them!

Director Stu Maddux locked into the monitor and audio feed on set. This is another behind-the-scenes shot from our most recent trip to Boston, where we also presented for NAPSA. There are a number of variables we look for to ensure we provide the utmost quality and authenticity in our interviews. The less we have to worry about the technical aspects, the more we can focus on the heart of the issue we're addressing!

We're excited to connect with all the amazing individuals interested in bringing 'All The Lonely People' to their communities. Together, we can combat loneliness and isolation!

This was a fantastic idea ahead of our screening of "All The Lonely People" at NAPSA 2022, where we also announced our upcoming docuseries/film, "Heroes Of Adult Protection (HOAP)"! We love a cinema experience, and you can't have one without popcorn! We look forward to returning to NAPSA this year with more clips from HOAP.

We'd prefer a table, but anything suffices when we're doing what we love. Here are the top cats enjoying a bite while on set last year in Boston. We were also there for a conference, so any fuel we could get and any time we could get it!

Much love and respect to an initiative started in partnership with a local bookstore. Becka Robbins, in collaboration with Fabulosa Books, supplies books on a wide range of LGBTQ+ topics to the states that need them most amidst increasing censorship across the country. As we screen our films nationwide, we hope to offer similar resources to these communities. Perhaps a local collaboration is on the horizon?

In what she calls "Books Not Bans," Becka Robbins sends titles to groups that want them in the face of a movement by conservative advocacy groups and lawmakers to ban them from schools and libraries.

In a recent Gallup survey, 23% of people reported feeling a lot of loneliness the day before taking the survey. This is a stark reminder that we continue to battle and learn more about the effects of loneliness in our daily lives. If you have experienced an emotion so intense that you have physically felt its effects, you might understand that loneliness affects some people to the same extent nearly every day of their lives. We are hopeful to continue being a leading voice in this space with our film “All The Lonely People,” as we screen the only documentary on loneliness around the world.

Globally, 23% of people experienced a lot of loneliness in 2023. Loneliness often accompanies other negative emotions, including stress and worry.

It was wonderful meeting all the amazing people in the aging space at the USAging Conference in Tampa, Florida, like Jeromy Buchanan, the Executive Director of Community Living, Aging and Protective Services at the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. It's great to see states creating strong initiatives to expand support for older adults in our community. Efforts like those led by Jeromy and his team inspire us to connect with local initiatives and create impact through our films. We look forward to our next chance to bring our films to Oklahoma!

Amazing work by amazing people and well deserved. Congrats!

We're thrilled and honored to announce that the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging (AAA5) is one of the 38 programs recognized by the USAging Aging Innovations & Achievement (AIA) Awards for 2024! Our innovative program, "Expansion of Programs Through the Use of Technology," has been honored for its outstanding impact.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Area Agency on Aging and our county focal points (Ashland, Crawford, Huron, Knox, Marion, Morrow, Richland, Seneca, and Wyandot) identified existing needs and service gaps for vulnerable and isolated older adults. By leveraging American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars and local funding, we improved technology infrastructure, enabling the successful delivery and streaming of essential programs, workshops, and classes for older adults in rural communities. This initiative has enhanced social engagement and resource sharing, maximizing funding stewardship and content sharing.

A huge thank you to USAging, Caregiving.com, and Cumulus.care for this recognition and for inspiring the Aging Network with innovative ideas and strategies. Together, we're making a difference!


Accepting the award on behalf of the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging is Trae Turner, Chief of Community Living and Duana Patton, CEO. Pictured with Meredith Lowther, Executive Director of Knox Station Break, who represented the focal points who were key team members in this project.
