The premise — college dance majors teaching grandmas modern dance and asking them to create an original show in just one week — sounds like it could be a reality TV show, but Christopher Boulton’s new feature-length documentary, Life After Life, actually goes deeper.
The award-winning indie filmmaker and associate professor of communication at The University of Tampa captured dance students from UT linking up with three grandmothers living at The Ella at Encore in Tampa, and his film finds the women overcoming mental and physical challenges on the way to showing viewers just how challenging the creative process is.
A Q&A with Boulton and some of the cast will follow this premiere.
Fri. Aug. 16, 7 p.m. Free with registration. Reeves Theater in the Vaughn Center at University of Tampa. 401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa. lifeafterlifefilm.com.
