An unprecedented speed-dating event for 70- to 90-year-olds serves as the backdrop for The Age of Love, an alternately poignant and funny look at the search for love among the senior set. Over one summer, we intimately follow as 10 speed daters prepare for the big day, endure a rush of encounters and then anxiously receive their results. Fearlessly candid about themselves and what they’re seeking, these WW II babies are spurred to take stock of life-worn bodies and still-hopeful hearts. This is a story of the universality of love and desire, regardless of age.

Steven Loring received his MFA in Social Documentary Filmmaking from the School of Visual Arts in 2012, focusing on films that examine the cultural and interior lives of unfamiliar and overlooked populations. His first film, Saccharin – A Morning Prayer, won several festival awards. The Age of Love is his first feature documentary.
