Vita Gottlieb: Metronome

Vita Gottlieb, 25, has been working as a first assistant director on short independent films for about 18 months and at the same time writing her own material and trying to source funding possibilities. She is also currently producing and directing a documentary, funded by a Millennium Award, on how deaf people sense and experience music, rhythm, and vibration.

'This film was the impetus for the Pulse film,' Vita told VEE-TV. 'I wanted to show that deaf people can experience music and that sensory impairment does not need to hinder sensory appreciation.

'In the near future I would like to learn more about the possibilities for internet distribution for DV film-making, and make several short films on DV which I'll hopefully exhibit on the internet. I would also love to make a short drama shot on film, and have several other documentary ideas. I never want another desk job, and hope to direct drama features one day.'
