YOUNG@HEART: On the Film's Reception
Director Stephen Walker talks about the overwhelmingly positive response of audiences who have seen his film.
Hi Stephen, I just came back from the theater for this documentary. Excellent job! Even though this group of old ladies and gentlemen got tons of stories behind themselves already, you are the one to pull them together into a lovely story with beautiful color and smooth cutting. This film was selected in our Golden Horse Film Festival of 2008 and received great reactions. Thank you for making this fine piece and giving encouragements to young and elder people all over the world. Look forward to your next success!

Hi, I live in Perth, Western Australia, and watched the Young at Heart documentary on a flight back from Bali. It was very, very good and I wondered if I am able to purchase a copy here in Australia??

hold your mouse over the red guitar on the main page of this site and the trailer is the first option. :)
I saw your documentary last night. I live in a CCRC in Gainsville Fl, I'm a retired music teacher and I direct our chorus here of 65-90 year olds. We have 30 to 50 singers. We don't do rock and roll, but the feeling about the music we sing is just as exciting. Seeing this film was a heart filling experience for me, just as directing our chorus is. I want the DVD or video- when will you be releasing it?
It will will available on DVD on September 16th, however the soundtrack is already out for your listening pleasure :)
I also would like to know when you will be releasing it. My parents live in Florida and would LOVE to buy this for them, I know they would love it. I laughed so hard I was about to pee my pants and also cried -- missing my grandmother and knowing how much she would have enjoyed this movie, or even being a participant.
When can we get a copy????!!!!

Hi Sandy!
The movie will be coming out on DVD on September 16th, however the soundtrack has already been released if you were looking for some great music for now :)
Stephen, your movie touched me so much. And I felt like we were on the same wave length because I have just finished a book about people who find love and passionate romance over 50: www.autumnlove.org
the book is called Autumn Romance: Stories and Portraits of Love after 50
It features 30 very different but equally delightful AND YOUNG AT HEART couples from all over the U.S. with inspiring stories.
I am now seeking testimonials and words from others to put on the back.
I am asking you if you would look at my website: www.autumnlove.org and give me an address where I can send you the stories and photos and if you would write something?
Thanks! From your movie, I know you will totally enjoy the photos and stories I will send you.
