Tabula Rasa
Lucy is an Artist. No one understands her. Lucy sees life through the viewfinder of her closest companion, a 16mm Bolex camera. You see, Lucy doesn’t make “movies” — she is a Filmmaker. Lucy’s getting ready to share her Art with the World. But she’s afraid the World isn’t ready for her. Lucy is twelve years old. No one understands her. The World isn’t going to know what hit it.
My parents were animators who met on the picket line at Disney Studios in 1941, and I spent almost thirty-five years in the labor movement as an officer of the Animation Guild Local 839 IATSE. About fifteen years ago I started taking classes with Joe Bratcher and the late Judy Farrell at the Twin Bridges Screenwriting Salon.
