'Josh Margolin has spent his whole life in awe of his grandmother, 104-year-old
Thelma. He spent years chronicling her everyday life in video, from accessing
her emails to going on a shopping trip.
The writer and director says Thelma has always been fiercely independent.
"She's had so many illnesses over the course of life that she's beaten," Josh
told
ABC Entertainment.
"It's a testament to her resilience. I've watched her get hit and bounce back,
all the way from her 70s, into her 80s and 90s and now her hundreds."
But despite being as tough as nails, a few years back Thelma became a target
for scammers, who demanded thousands from the centenarian.
Now, Josh has taken his grandmother's experience and turned it into a feature
film.
Thelma, in cinemas now, is not only a heartwarming family action comedy
but also a realistic reminder of how easy it is to fall into a scammer's trap.'
Cheers,
