About the Film:
I was coming off a career enhancing experience and then was suddenly unemployed, un-inspired, and spending most of my time in solitude. I was seeking affection from strangers on apps. The winter blues. When no one could see this dance show I had been dying to see I took myself out. A beautiful Italian dancer captured my attention during the performance. Serendipitously our paths crossed at a bar down the street just as I was leaving. A two day love affair ensued. Then and there I had been awoken. I knew I found my story.
Current Status: Pre Production. Fundraising! Shooting second week in January.
