Creative Nonfiction - A Conversation with Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham chats about her first feature, Creative Nonfiction. It's a semi-autobiographical story about a college student who, while struggling to finish a ...
Bravo Lena! This just shows, you can have all the fancy cameras in the
world, but it's storytelling that really matters in filmmaking. Nail that
and you'll go far. I wish her every success.
Nice try. Troll harder. I mean, this isn't even a creative insult, and as a
writer, I'm assuming Lena would find it humorous how dull witted and
idiotic this insult is.
Lena Dunham was only nineteen when she made "Pressure" among the stacks at Oberlin College. It's just four minutes long, but in this distinctly Dunham-esque, ...
Re: "it's clear that she had already found her voice"<
Yes, clearly. But had Dunham learned how to crawl and walk yet? Was she
still eating boogers? Obviously she wasn't advanced enough to know how to
make a short that looked like something more than a voyeur's cell phone
camera.
Criterion, thank you for bringing the shorts and feature films of Agnes
Varda, Jane Campion, Věra Chytilová, and other genuinely brilliant female
directors in the past.
No thank you for Michael Bay, Kevin Smith, Lena Dunham, etc.
I don't think this is bad. It's an amusing YouTube video. It isn't a film,
or even a short. It's just a skit. I've seen a hundred others just like
this on YouTube over the years. To say that this clearly showed its maker
would go on to bigger and better things is stretching it. I like Lena, and
I will say that she has a certain screen presence that shows even here. But
shorts just like this one are a dime a dozen.
That's what voting for Obama looks like? Fingerbanging your nose? Gross.
The one thing I do like about this video is that Lena Dunham looks like a
person instead of the potato she evolved into. It took me 5 episodes of
GIRLS to figure out she was, in fact, NOT an awkward and clumsy talking
potato that wears old women's clothes. Obviously, I did not watch any
episodes after that.
Around 85% of humans only breathe out of one nostril at a time. Even more
interesting is that the pattern of switching from breathing out of one
nostril to the other happens in a cyclical fashion, every four hours. How
your nose accomplishes this switch is via erectile tissue, which is very
similar to the erectile tissue in a penis or clitoris.
you could say the same thing for kim kardashian, look at her sex tape that
she made a few years ago, and look at her now. She wasn't and still isn't
talented, just because a person is famous doesn't make them talented. Also,
your generalization that you made in the beginning of your comment is
ridiculous.
I really wanted to dislike this short, probably because Lena Dunham has
achieved success so early in her life creatively, and yes, the production
quality of the video is youtube-level, but if you can imagine this shot on
DSLRs and edited well, it's a pretty fully formed bit of comedy writing.
When I read all this blind hatred, all I can see is a crowd of petty,
film-making wannabes who couldn't get noticed with a YouTube short if their
lives depended on it. Grow up. You may not like it, but guess what? Look
where she is as opposed to where you are, and re-think your childishness.
It's not even a criterion release, sure it's an extra feature on the Tiny
Furniture criterion, but why not? I love that it's packed with features,
and it's really cool to see Dunham's REALLY early work, and how that
compares to her now professional work. We don't need to get so dramatic.
burning, pain and tingling? that sounds like the clap not an orgasm. Now
that poor girl is trying to have an orgasm by rubbing her nose with a
finger. Honey use your finger to rub but rub those little chicken cutletts
down tween the legs, not your nose. yamjusayin.
What the hell is up with the comment bashing on this? I think this short is
great
the content is really clever, similar to girls
What does it matter if the quality of the video is not on the same level as
typical Hollywood productions
yeah, because getting famous for showing your porn tits and getting famous
for actually doing work (independent low-budget film, no less) are exactly
the same on the scale of achievement. Ridiculous analogy.
Must say, I was immediately put off by the terrible camera work. However,
the actual content was quite funny, and this make me want to see her film,
"Tiny Furniture".
Lena Dunham's real treat. Even this early on she had voice all her own.

How do you "move on with your life" while you're living in your
girlfriend's apartment, subletting under HER lease, and you're shacking up
with your new chick IN HER HOUSE? That, my friends, is bullshit. I
understand having a piece on the side while your girlfriend's away, but who
the fuck has his mistress living in HER house, and you can just get rid of
HER stuff? Let me remind her: that's her fucking apartment.
As for blaming Lena Dunham for "leaving things out" of the story, she does
not write this whole series by herself, and she did not actually write this
episode. That said, this is a shitty episode review. It sounds like a bunch
of silly girls gossiping about their friends over brunch.
The show should be re-cast with the four of you as the Girls. I mean I
like the current cast, but I'd be interested in what you might do with the
material.
