My Story Productions is creating audio/video programming that is developed and produced by seniors who will share their life’s stories while expressing their feelings through programming such as documentaries, a Senior’s Travel show, a Senior’s variety program and our Senior’s Product Page.
Positions are physically friendly, part-time positions for seniors and non-seniors who will have the opportunity to volunteer or earn extra cash, in these financially stressed times, by working and learning about specific talents in video productions. They can have a family member work alongside the senior in a volunteer capacity. Positions are in sales, research, fundraising, grants sponsorship, production crews, writing, dance, and music. Work from home, except for active production, and you are financially rewarded according to the effort and time you put into the endeavor.
Profits from all sales of our video productions and subsidiary programs are donated to support non-profit senior organizations and to create and support a national “companion” program so seniors never feel they are alone.
Communication and expression are a spiritual hug that brings us all closer and helps us understand and realize that every person has something to offer that is worth much more than just their age. My Story Productions is dedicated to recording the stories of senior’s life experiences and perpetuating an historical and personal legacy that will be valued by their families and educate the viewer with their chronicled adventures.
In our senior’s world active agers can express their feelings, explore their talent, communicate with the world and complete the cycle of love by sharing their stories and “touching” the hearts of people in a positive manner.
