Meet the creator
Audrey Walters is a SAG AFTRA actor, writer, producer, and entrepreneur creating character driven work rooted in humor, honesty, and lived experience. After years working in television and film, she is stepping into filmmaking with a focus on stories that center women who are often overlooked.
A longtime advocate for women in business and the arts, she is the co founder of Quick Wit Studios and the creator of Talk to the Camera, an award winning program that uses filmmaking to teach communication and empathy to children nationwide. She is drawn to stories that challenge conventional timelines and redefine what it means to be in your prime.
"Menopause After Dark was born from something deeply personal, but also widely unspoken. What I experienced, and what I continue to see in women around me, is how often this phase of life is navigated with a quiet resilience. We keep showing up for everyone else while our own bodies feel unpredictable, unfamiliar, and at times overwhelming. And yet, there is still so much life, and humor, and energy within us!
I wanted to create something that puts that experience front and center. Something that says, you are not alone. I see you. I am you. We are in this together. Using music and a strong visual style allowed me to take something internal and make it expressive, heightened, and impossible to ignore. The tone reflects the women I know. We are tough, we persevere, and we still want to laugh, move, and feel fully alive in the middle of it all!
As a first time filmmaker over 50 years of age, this project is also about claiming space. It challenges the idea that women at this stage are past their prime. We are still evolving, creating, and stepping into something new everyday. Our bodies remind us of this constantly ;)
My hope is that audiences feel seen, understood, and maybe even a little less alone, while finding a moment to laugh at the reality of it all!"
