Shot over 8 years, I Am Not A Rock Star is a documentary shot in cinema verite style that follows the dramatic coming-of-age story of Canadian concert pianist Marika Bournaki. Uber-gifted Marika has been playing the piano like God since a very tender age, guided through the academic voyage by the firm hand of her father and teacher. This film sets about documenting a coming of age process from 12 to 20 that soon unravels unexpected circumstances, and the crude process of rupture in both family and professional spheres that explodes in a hurricane of teenage rage and angst about personal freedom. The film gives viewers a rare look inside the world of classical music.
