It was an incredible experience working with Stephanie Houten (Director) @stephaniehouten and Dara Nicole Capley (Choregrapher) @dara_nicole_capley on creating this story and world. Stephanie, the dedication you show to your filmmaking craft is so inspiring, it is a joy to work with you in every sense of the word. Dara, the way you listen and translate the music into some of the most beautiful, flowing, entangled movement I’ve seen is pure magic. I sincerely thank you both.
It all truly came to life with stunning performances by Katherine Bickford and Jacob Hoover. I’m in awe of both your ability and how you communicated such deep emotion and feeling. It gives me the chills every time.
Thank you to the crew members who created such a beautiful atmosphere with light and art. I couldn’t be more grateful to work with such a talented group of people. And thank you to the @est8ofmind for letting us use their incredible grand ballroom to film.
Last but not least I wanted to give a shout-out to my mom. When I first recorded a demo of this song on my phone she loved bopping around to it. One day she brought me over and showed me how she synced up the song with a movie scene of two people ballroom dancing. Look at how far we’ve come mom, thank you and love you.
I hope you enjoy and thank you all as always for your support. (Video link in my bio 🫶)
