Silver Screamers is a film which highlights the journey in overcoming creative, technical, and age-related obstacles, promoting creativity and combating ageism. 

"A heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a spirited group of older adults who set out to make a horror film, stepping far outside their comfort zones. Led by a local filmmaker, they navigate the challenges of low-budget movie-making with humour, heart, and resilience. Along the way, they discover newfound confidence, forge meaningful friendships, and prove that creativity knows no age. Silver Screamers is a joyful celebration of second acts and fearless reinvention."
