Lifecasters

This program unites fiction and documentary filmmakers to tell stories of Americans who use their strength, creativity and determination to reach their goals – a bit later in life.   Oscar-nominees Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert profile Dayton Contemporary Dance Company artist Sheri "Sparkle" Williams, one of the oldest female professional dancers still practicing in the U.S; filmmakers Adam McKay and Shira Piven follow former MC5 guitarist and punk pioneer Wayne Kramer, and Emmy-nominees Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly share the story of Albert Hurwit, a retired doctor who couldn’t read or write music, yet composed an award-winning symphony.
