Part of getting older is we become a bit risk averse. And who can blame those folks who often arrived at the top of their personal pinnacle often while others who, like them, sharing the same dream, but not the ability to execute it. To remain nimble enough to try new adventures is the challenge of all generations.
This month is the kickoff of a new monthly film series from Start Garden — hosted in partnership with Worksighted & Lakeshore Advantage — and will feature “Generation Startup,” a new documentary looking at six college graduates all on the front lines of entrepreneurship in America.
Set in Detroit, “Generation Startup,” directed by Academy Award-winner Cynthia Wade and award-winning filmmaker Cheryl Miller Houser, seeks to capture these six rising startups as they face the challenges and share their triumphs.
And rather than be a drop-in-and-shoot documentary, “Generation Startup” was recorded over 17 months. Because of such access, it enables the filmmakers to really dig down and showcase what it takes to launch a startup.
What makes this documentary especially vital is that it arrives at a time in American when those seeking to start a new business is at an all-time record low. If the American small business person is the backbone of this nation, then we have a few things to consider at the end of this new film.
Space is limited so be sure to register in advance.
