Look At Me, Look At Me
In the 2017 documentary I am Heath Ledger, the late actor’s family and friends share much of the biographical film through footage Ledger captured himself on various cameras.
“He got this camera, and he didn’t know what to do with it other than to make something,” said Trevor DiCarlo, Ledger’s childhood friend. “It wasn’t just to film us and film what we were doing. He was, like, creating something straight away.”
DiCarlo explained that Ledger used his camera mainly as a way to teach himself. In the personal and sometimes shaky footage, viewers see Ledger experimenting with his angles, recording his face in mirrors from different perspectives.
The camera appeared to be both an extension of Ledger and a tool for exploration. Whether this creative process was solely about film or included deeper self-exploration remains unknown.
“I cannot recall precisely when or how I came across the documentary on Ledger. What took root in my mind was a single sequence: Ledger filming himself as he spins around the room.”
