Lisa Gornick

10.11.08

This week we are involved in a joint project. The task is to design a new super hero. We are in groups, we have particular tasks to meet within this project. I think I will benefit in realising how much work you can get out of one day.

I went to a viewing of Lisa Gornicks latest film; Tick Tock Lullaby. I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Gornicks inspiration were her short dialogues and diary of her current concerns. She is very interested in discussion and wanted to portray this in her film. The film was shot on a small handy cam and the cast worked for free.

Gornicks previous film; Do I love you? has won a number of awards from international LGBT festivals.

Gornick works as an actress, she prefered film to theatre so she went to film school and started producing films.

I am interested in discussion and how we talk about things. I like how the film was like a snippit of REAL LIFE. There was a slight restriction on keeping it constructive as a story. But it felt much like real life, where it is almost like a stream of consciousness. People don't or can't be as constructive as they would like in life concerning personal life. I am intrigued how film changes the way you look at things. Gornicks perception of the story is probably not exactly the same as she sees on film.

I enjoyed the writing and drawing in the film, it is very simple and clear. It is quite personal.
