TIPPING POINT - THE FILM PHENOMENON
PRAISE FROM THE PRESS
“Scooter Morris has done it again. “Tipping Point” is a pointedly poignant ode to our shared humanity during these currently troubled and challenging times in the good ol’ US of A. Scooter’s creativity, artistry, passion, and conscience are on full display in her brief, hard-hitting tone-poem of a film. “Tipping Point” makes one think deeply about our country’s profoundly imperfect history while simultaneously giving the viewer real hope that we will endure and thrive beyond our uncomfortably boisterous state of modern civic affairs.”
-STEVE CUDEN, Writer Jekyll & Hyde the Broadway Show
Tipping Point masterfully interweaves visual art and provocative prose that remind us that our founding documents are not just pieces of paper of a bygone era but they are living, breathing guides and we are the stewards of these United States now and forevermore.
-PATRICIA DISALVO VIAYRA, Lady Filmmakers Festival
“A work that, through the experimentation of artistic languages, captures the heart of contemporary society.”
- MICHELE DIOMA, Wild Filmmaker
“All too rarely a talented artist receives inspiration that speaks beyond form and genre and even cultural cliques. And so it is with ‘Tipping Point’ by L Scooter Morris. While the film may be brief in running time it is timeless in the odyssey it reminds us we share and the obligation of stewardship with which we are entrusted. The call to action in this story well told is that we dare not forget or take for granted the great experiment called democracy!”
- WAYNE MORRIS, Producer

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
We Are The People who recognize this moment for what it is. It has happened before. We can see the injustice occurring every day. We know the struggle and know what we must do. We the people remember the beauty of our land. We are the people that remember the splender of what existed before and must work together to reclaim it. We are the people, we are the heroes that we have been waiting for, wishing for, demanding. We are the people. Many of the Sculpted Paintings ® in this show include the documents that founded this country. They are embedded in the making of the painting as they were also rooted in the formation of our nation.
DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY
Sculpted Paintings® which I created over twenty years ago, is a technique that creates a three dimensional perspective through the use of applied canvas and mixed media. My goal is to create art that is of this moment but also captures something timeless. It resonates with one viewing the work as representational although it is not quite accurately realistic. It has a meaning they experience although that meaning is only found in the use of color or symbolism, or imagery. My desire is to make artwork that is so beautiful it cuts to the heart of what is true, whether it is in the medium of a painting, a piece of clothing, or a object d’arte.
