Early life
Bock was born in 1983 or 1984 in Toronto, Ontario.[2][3] Bock graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and sculpture from Emily Carr University of Art and Design[3] then began studying film production at Concordia University while a resident of the Lab Synthese loft space.[4][2] After directing the music video for Grimes' song "Oblivion", Bock withdrew from her study.[4]
Artistic style and influences
Bock appreciated the music videos of Daft Punk, Radiohead, and the Foo Fighters—directed by Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Jonathan Glazer—while growing up. According to Sarah Nicole Prickett of The Globe and Mail, Bock "favours a 'run and gun' style, shooting with precision but not necessarily permission, in locations that feel plucked from memory, and with considerable speed."[2]
