Creative Block

(2017)

Claire is a puppet-maker in New York; Thibaut, an ice skater in Paris. Each, in their own way, suffers from depression and creative block. But one gives in, while the other won't give up. A story about inspiration: having it, losing it, finding it again, and never taking it for granted. (16 min., English and French with English subtitles) 

REVIEWS

"Creative Block is immediately and highly relatable ... [in] its two main characters, each viewer can find themselves [and their] decisions, defeat and success ... Determined to return color to Thibaut's life, Claire boards a NYC subway train, the darkness of the subway tunnels giving way to a transcontinental travel to the subways of France ... symbolic in that our passion can transcend all barriers, pushing us farther than we think possible."
— Stephanie Archer, Film Inquiry
