Nearly 1,000 entries were judged by a distinguished panel of mature market experts from across the United States for overall excellence of design, content, creativity and relevance to the senior market.
“We are delighted to take part in the Mature Media Awards Program this year, and were honored to be selected as a winner,” says producer/director Sue Perlgut.

Filmed in Ithaca, New York and the surrounding Finger Lakes, it represents a snapshot of retirement with people who are successfully managing a life of active retirement and inspiring many around them. Their stories are both unique and universal. For more information, and to view the trailer, visit www.101WaystoRetireorNot.com or contact us.
