Becoming a First-Time Filmmaker at 50+ with Beth Barany


Listen Later

What would happen if you finally said yes to the thing you’ve been dreaming about for years?

 

In this episode, Yvonne talks with award-winning novelist and creativity coach Beth Barany, who is stepping into a bold new creative chapter. At 50+, Beth is becoming a first-time filmmaker as she turns her fantasy adventure novel, Henrietta the Dragon Slayer, into a proof-of-concept short film — the first step toward a potential TV series.

 

Beth shares the true behind-the-scenes story of a dream nearly two decades in the making:

✨ The moment she dared to say her dream out loud
✨ Why she decided not to wait for Hollywood
✨ How she built a filmmaking team without previous experience
✨ The power of curiosity to guide your next step
✨ What it feels like to finally see her character come to life on screen
✨ Why our most exciting reinventions often happen in midlife

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too old” to start something new — this conversation is your reminder that you are right on time. You don’t need permission. You get to greenlight yourself.
