It's Not Up To Us

Anthony Werhun
United States, 2023, 13 min.

In English.

Legendary visual artist Nancy Burson sparked a technological revolution by using computer morphing techniques to blend art with science, but claims she didn't do it alone. The complex truth behind Nancy's beliefs and how they shaped her career evokes questions about the nature of creation and of reality itself.

Director's Statement

After decades of profound contribution to the art and science communities, Nancy Burson has become a product of her own creative process. Discovering this unique truth while making the film has impacted me deeply, and I am eager to invite audiences to form their own conclusions about the mysteries of Nancy's life and work. 'It's Not Up To Us' stands as a testament to the boundless potential of human creativity and presents a multifaceted narrative that will undoubtedly inspire, challenge, and captivate viewers, much like Nancy's art.
