Elisa Emely Berkel
To my late daughter Lisa, forever young, she remains the symbol of a loving, beautiful, free, funny, strong, and creative girl, who touched so many lives with her warm, radiant smile.
She dedicated the last years of her life to help me make this film.
Normal is Over.
She was my assistant Director; she made all the artwork for the film; she dedicated each second to a slightly different image in order to create all the animations, (this was before AI); she transcribed all the interviews, and so much more.
I will miss her forever.
Lisa passed away on the last day of the post-production of this film and so when you watch Normal is Over, please watch until the very end- after the end-credits, where this film is dedicated to her.
Lisa understood the challenges of our times and was ready to implement solutions in her own funky and arty ways.
