Women Over 70: Aging Reimagined

300 Karen Allen and Sarah T. Schwab: Intergenerational Collaboration on Films About Loss and Love


Listen Later

For 15 years, Karen Allen (age 73), actor and director of stage and film,

and Sarah T. Schwab (age 39), writer, director and producer, have enjoyed

collaborating on theatre and film productions, notably addressing oft-avoided

discussions about dying and loss. Their award-winning film, A Stage of

Twilight—written and directed by Sarah and starring Karen—is a “grass-

roots awareness campaign for end-of-life care and decisions.” It raises the

difficult question: “Whose death is it—who has the right to decide when,

where, how, and with whom someone dies?” Karen’s directorial debut, the

award-winning A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud., is a short film about the “passing

of wisdom from an older man to a young boy.” In 2025, Karen will be

directing her first feature film, The Batting Cage, with Sarah on the

production team. This film depicts how two sisters reconnect after the death

of their sibling. In her upcoming third feature film, Crybaby Bridge, Sarah

approaches suicide through the genre of psychological thriller. Please meet

Karen Allen and Sarah T. Schwab—friends and collaborators who “reach for

the light” while pursuing what they love.


"Loss ties us together as human beings; we must learn to respect

time and cherish loved ones."
