Many of us often take our loved ones for granted. University of Haifa Professor, Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, has observed that this sense of comfort can be damaging, as it “can lead to the assumption that no further effort or resources need to be invested.” And that's when problems arise.▫️
In “THE GOLDEN YEARS,” a different kind of love story unfolds. Cinematographer Eythan Maidhof notes that, “The film is essentially about redefining and renewing a very old, worn relationship … I'd like people to think about emotional availability before life passes them by … being more mindful of those around them.”

We're mindful, and honored, to announce that the piece was selected by Academy Award®-Qualifying LA SHORTS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, and will be screening on July 22, 2022, at 3:15pm, at the Laemmle NoHo.
