About The Project
We are six graduates of New York University's Studio 20 and Reporting the Nation graduate programs. This was the final project for our Advanced Multimedia course, dedicated to telling compelling stories on a digital platform. Once we started noticing how many elderly people were navigating a city that even exhausts us, we felt a strong urge to tell some of their stories.
Sarah Bourassa, 28, graduated from University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Science in News-Editorial Journalism. She chose NYY;s Studio 20 graduate program because she is passionate about the emerging field of digital journalism and multimedia storytelling.
She loved interviewing Gisela, who shows it's never too late to give up hope, and Rebecca and Herbert, who tell a genuine story about love in their 90s. You can view her work at sarahbourassa.wordpress.com.
Also known as Trini Trent, Trent Jones is an pop culture blogger from Trinidad and Tobago. With a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies, he journeyed to New York City to join NYU's Studio 20 graduate program. That is where he developed his skills in filming and video production as well as a keen interest in social issues like race, gender, sexuality, sex and culture.
Trent contributed to filming and developing The Misfit but took the lead on The Lovers, framing a glimpse of the lives of Herbert and Rebecca. How does love look after 90? Tune in and find out.
