IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU.
Lucky Woman (4 min)
Pre-Trained (3 min)
Short films by Luke Forsythe & Kiki Larson, commissioned by the UK's Channel 4 TV. Pre-Trained aired throughout the UK as part os Channel 4's Random Acts season, with over 275,000 viewers.
IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU uses the displacement of contemporary conversations as a way of exploring the difference (or alikeness) of people.
For the explorations to have merit, they must be rooted in the truth, so the words the actors take on (re-enact) are sourced from candid, real conversations. The films are a verbatim re-presentation of those audio recordings - men speaking women's words.
