getting dot OLDER is a new public television docu-talk series I started filming in 2014 about aging across America. It focuses on our generation – Baby Boomers! Each half-hour episode includes heartfelt, funny, poignant and tragic revelations from diverse Americans – so far, from Alaska to Puerto Rico. My goal is to get every kind of American in this show. The 13-episode Season 1 debuted in January on 200 TV stations across the USA. This series is distributed by American Public Television. Audience response is terrific, and more TV channels are signing up every week. We’re now working on Season 2, slated to premiere in Fall, 2022. Every week, viewers send comments, photos and home videos for use on the show; apply to be interviewed; and take our 27-question survey about their experience of aging.

Harvard Forest — Last Spring, I was thrilled to work again with Harvard Forest’s Long Term Ecological Research scientists. Clarisse Hart, Director of Outreach & Education, led their new Virtual Site Review Videos Project for the National Science Foundation; and she also spearheaded the Fisher Museum of Forestry mural project with museum art consultant Eric Bessette and Nipmuc Nation representative Nia Holley. Working closely with Ms. Hart, I produced/shot five videos and a large (22 feet by 8 feet) panoramic photo mural for the museum. Taken together, it involved pre-dawn photo/video excursions to this Central Massachusetts forested region, with beautiful lakes, rivers, beaver dams and vernal pools. The museum will have a post-covid re- opening later this year.
