Living Fearless

Reaching 75 doesn’t mean you can’t learn new things, set fresh goals or live a vibrant life. Just ask the fearless seniors who are stepping into the spotlight.

-

Fearless Films is a collection of inspiratio­nal short documentar­ies that show the courageous lives of nine seniors. Watch as they smash age and ability stereotype­s to live their boldest lives.

As a collaborat­ion between aged care provider Feros Care and Screenwork­s, each fearless senior produced and starred in their own short film, and walked the red carpet at the gala premiere in Byron Bay!

These nine stories are a reminder that everyone has a unique, bold and fearless story, no matter what your age. Whether you are flying on a trapeze, competing in a world tennis championsh­ip, grooving at the pub on a Friday, or running your own jazz band - life after 75 doesn’t have to be anything short of fearless.

“Just because you hit 75 doesn’t mean you can’t learn new things, set fresh goals or live a vibrant life. And we found nine seniors who are doing just that,” says Jennene Buckley, CEO of Feros Care.

Become inspired by Wendy Taylor who, at 79 years young, posts inspiratio­nal musings on growing old and shares her top fashion tips with her loyal Instagram followers at @WendysThir­dAct. Wendy lives every day by her favourite mantra, "do not go beige with age!”
