About GORK!

Directed by Devon Terrill, the documentary film GORK! turns a spotlight on her outrageous, charismatic, and perplexing younger brother Adam, his challenges and disabilities, and his impact on the dynamic of his 7-member family. Tracing Adam’s early years, through his high school graduation, to his present-day life in a group home, GORK! focuses in particular on the relationship between Adam and his sister, Autumn, whose bold life choices are unmistakably influenced by her ever-evolving bond with Adam.

As part of the documentary project, Autumn’s solo stage play (also called “GORK!”) was filmed in front of a live audience and will be featured in the documentary as the film explores the daily life of Adam and further elaborates on the comedy and conflict arising from his uninhibited and flamboyant approach to life in “our” world.
