Cico Beck and Florian Kreier, composers
Besides their activities in various indie bands (The Notwist, Aloa Input, Joasihno, Angela Aux) Florian Kreier and Cico Beck love to find sound, rhythmn, gaps and noises for movies and theater plays. Working together with Susan Gluth for “Very Senior - Attitude is Everything” was a big pleasure, as the movie has a very rich emotional range - from deep beauty to humour and from melancholy to a very uplifting perspective of life.

Catrin Striebeck, actress and voice
Einer meiner Lieblingssätze für den Grabstein (frei nach Gloria Swanson) lautet: ich habe alle meine Rechnungen selbst bezahlt! Und diese Haltung, Lebenslust, Selbstbestimmtheit und Konsequenz strahlen die Menschen in 'Gestorben wird Morgen' dermaßen aus, dass sie mich mitten ins Herz treffen. Daher bin ich sehr glücklich ein kleiner Teil dieses wunderbaren Films zu sein.
LOFT, mixing studio
We had lots of fun working on this film and polishing it’s sounds to a maximum.
Piotr Odemski, accounting
sg: Without Piotr I would never produce my films on my own. He's the man of the numbers!
Katrin Dörwaldt, marketing & key audiences
Age has been a topic and part of my life for quite some years now and has influenced and inspired me in many different ways - whether in my studies at university, in my daily work, in my workshops I do for best agers in order to prepare them for their stay abroad or even in my private life.
Therefore I am very happy to have the opportunity to be part of this exiting project. It is my job to promote Susan’s wonderful film and all the charming characters to as many people as possible here in Germany. If you are interested in watching the movie - it is definitely worth it - feel free to contact me at any time. I am very much looking forward to lots of new inspiring contacts. Age is just a number but attitude is everything - so let’s rock the movie theaters in Germany and have a wonderful time all together!
Dr. Daniel Kaboth, lawyer
sg: Anytime you need him, he will be there! And for this film it was quite often over the amount of years. Music rights, fair use discussions, title-difficulties and many more topics. Actually filmmaking is a lot about the rights.

Not only an accoustic adventure! We shot in a very small team and it was most important to create a sense of intimacy.

Peter Lohmeyer, actor and voice
Ich sehe überhaupt nicht ein, warum ich mich mit dem älterwerden oder gardem Tod beschäftigen sollte. Ich habe vier gesunde Kinder und doch kann man dem Thema nicht ausweichen, ich hab dann irgendwann gemerkt, es kommt darauf an, wie man sich mit dem Thema auseinandersetzt. So hatte ich das Glück, dass dieser Film auf mich zukam,über diese merkwürdige Stadt fern von hier, mit diesen kauzigen, lustigen, kreativen Menschen, die einen Ort gesucht haben für das letzte Kapitel, dass kurz oder so lang sein kann, sei es drum. Irgendwie hat Susan es geschafft, dass ich die dort alle mal besuchen durfte, auch wenn ich nie dort war.Sich diesen Menschen zu nähern hat mal ganz einfach große Freude bereitet.

Gute Geschichten - schwer zu finden. Hier eine Besondere. Danke dafür Susan. Liebevoll erzählt, nicht auf die Schnelle. Sparringspartner durfte ich sein, was für ein Privileg. Gestorben wird morgen erst, hoffentlich! Auf viele Weitere.
