Description

Writer-producer Charlene Davis joins Sylvia and Michel to share how she pivoted from a 35-year legal career to make her debut feature Relative Control—casting Terry Polo, shooting through a pandemic and SAG strike, and landing distribution and an upcoming AARP screening. A candid, funny, and encouraging talk about caretaking, resilience, Delaware film hustle, and why creative “third acts” after 50 aren’t just possible—they’re powerful.
