Bright Lights:Long Live My Happy Head
Directed by Will Hewitt and Austen McCowan
Free Event
Co-presented with Wicked Queer and GlobeDocs
What would you do if you were told you had a dramatically life-shortening illness when you were 32 years old? Start making comic books about it of course! Well, that’s what Gordon did anyway. Gordon is a Scottish comic book artist with a big bushy beard, very expressive eyebrows—oh, and an inoperable, incurable brain tumor. By making autobiographical comics about his experience, he is able to communicate his thoughts and reactions to cancer in a medium and a language that is disarming, accessible and inviting. Discussion with directors Will Hewitt and Austen McCowan to follow.
