Review of "You Look and You Think" (Portobello Film Festival)

Director and writer Ben Woodiwiss' "You Look and You Think", which I did the music for, was recently screened at the Portobello Film Festival in London. The below review was recently published:

The evening also provided some more, rather arty shorts. Ben Woodiwiss's You Look and You Think visually and poetically explores the relationship between the viewer and the characters shown on screen. The film's narrator offers a simple yet evocative dialogue which challenges the position of the viewer. The boundaries imposed by the cinema screen are interestingly explored, whilst reality is openly questioned and the idea of pretence is vital to the film; the narrator describes how she walks and in turn we see her walk and yet, as she describes, she, as an actress is in fact pretending to walk which, although obvious, was certainly intriguing.
