Dip has won a jury award at Osnabruck film festival. It’s the youth jury award for moral courage. It’s great for the film to be read this way – when we were making it and in the edit – I always saw the film as an anti violence film within a thriller genre. There’s this gun that features a lot being bought for revenge and then there’s an ex child soldier from Somalia obsessing with guilt at what he did because of revenge. The two worlds meet on the top of a London night bus. Thank you so much Youth Jury in Osnabruck for catching what this film is about and giving it such an honour.

Drawing Shop Launched
Posted by – February 27, 2011
A quiet Sunday opening. The rain has just started even. But Lisa Gornick’s Drawing Shop is easing itself into existence. Some people have requested purchasing my drawings and I would love them to live in other places and have lives outside of me. So take a look at my new site. In the drawing shop, I give a bit of personal insight around what I was thinking when I drew the work and also give dates and sizes. And let me know what you think, I’d love feedback.

there’s a money cost of £1.50 to listen to me and some other artist-cartoonists talk and show
and here’s some film drawings i did about five years ago when i was thinking of making a porn comedy and never got up the nerve. this is how i tend to write films, start with sketches and then build characters and dialogues from them.
having the feel of a french film
Posted by – November 11, 2010
I am directing two short dramas – and I imbue them with as much of what I feel a French film is. Maybe I have a fantasy of talking in a French accent. Or it’s the eyes of the actors. The sensuality. The pace. They are set in a hospital and a care home – but still I want this filmic beauty.
