By Bird With Annie
A portrait of an artist and survivor Director,
Producer and Writer: Freida Lee Mock
BIRD BY BIRD WITH ANNIE is a portrait of the best-selling author and laugh out loud funny humorist Anne Lamott (Bird by Bird, Operating Instructions, Crooked Little Heart). It is the moving story of a survivor, a recovering addict and alcoholic and a single mother who is both a born-again Christian and a liberal activist. The film, a year in the life of the writer, focuses on her gift at de-mystifying the creative process, the people that inform her life and writing, and the beauty of language and the written arts. It touches upon concerns of universal interest - loss, alienation, |
loneliness,
faith, the meaning of life and the perhaps less weighty concerns of unfirm
thighs, difficult hair and retail therapy. Annie likes to pass on the "secret
of life" that she found written on a computer terminal bearing a picture
of Koko the gorilla: "The law of the American jungle: Remain calm and share
your bananas."
Freida Mock is an Academy- and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker who directed, wrote and produced the Oscar-winning documentary feature film "Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision." Mock has directed numerous films on the arts and humanities, specializing in portrait films. She heard Lamott speak at a writers' conference and was captivated by her ideas, humor and charismatic way of speaking. 1 tape - 40 minutes |
