S4 E6: Beyond Sixty with Filmmaker Melissa Davey

The View In Your Mirror

Now a spry 72 years young, Melissa Davey can add filmmaker, director, and executive producer to her list of accomplishments. After almost 3.5 decades in both nonprofit and for profit legal services for the disabled, an interaction with M. Night Shyamalan changed everything. At 65, Melissa left corporate America to pursue her dream of film making. In 2018, Melissa Davey completed her first film, Beyond Sixty, a feature length documentary about women over the age of sixty. Talk about reinventing yourself and your path. In this episode, you will learn that it is truly never too late to learn something new or take a risk. We discuss how one story or interaction can truly change your life. We discuss the impacts of ageism and how to confront them or overcome them. We learn how she went from knowing nothing about film making to winning multiple awards at various film festivals in the USA and Canada. Please take a moment and watch this movie: we promise you will not regret it. Links to view this film are easily accessible through our website with one-to-two clicks: Watch Movie. Melissa’s second film, Climbing into Life, is currently in post-production. Women have the ability to do anything they want if they try. What is it going to be?
