About This Movie

"Lucy Tsak Tsak" is a 2001 film that serves as an homage to the often-overlooked role of the slate operator in filmmaking. This unique documentary showcases the hands of Lucy, who claps the slate before each take, highlighting her contributions to the film industry over three decades.

The film presents a montage of Lucy's work, featuring her clapping the slate board repeatedly during the filming of "Tuvalu" (1999). It emphasizes her role in the filmmaking process, where she has clapped the slate over 7200 times for each film she worked on.

With a career spanning more than 30 years, Lucy has contributed to 56 feature films, three documentaries, and two series. Rolling credits reveal the sheer volume of her work, totaling nearly half a million claps and over 382 hours of her presence captured on film, all while never appearing in a traditional motion picture until this documentary.

This film has seen limited releases, often surfacing in niche collector circles. It's not your run-of-the-mill find; copies can be scarce, especially on physical formats. There's an emerging interest among collectors who appreciate the artistry of film production, making this a noteworthy piece for those who delve deeper into cinema's behind-the-scenes magic.
