Thanks, Babs!

2025 · 14 min · Documentary

Meet Babs, an optimistic octogenarian speed-racing through life, one five-year plan at a time. Like a modern day Maude from Harold and Maude, Babs moves through life at breakneck speed. She spars with her ex over her 5-year plan for relationships, admitting to a reputation for always having her vibrator. She lap-dances at a party celebrating the 41st anniversary of her 39th birthday, threatening to kick anyone who says “80” out the door. A trip to the AIDS memorial grove on the heels of aquacise class at the Jewish Community Center sparks a glorious rumination on a possible afterlife.
