Youth Knows No Pain | Mitch McCabe

YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN (2009)

(Director, Producer, Camera, Co-Editor) Documentary Feature, 2009

Partly a portrait of American consumerism on the eve of the Great Recession, Youth Knows No Pain is a journey into its anti-aging business, following a cross-section of people who've gone to near-bankrupting lengths to "beat the clock", set against archivals of the filmmaker’s plastic surgeon dad.
