I am a recent member and a filmmaker at the start of my career. Based in Glasgow Scotland, I am in the process of completing my masters in communication design at The Glasgow School of Art. Having worked in the US film industry within production, I wanted to redirected my career and create my own portfolio of short films. Passionate about independent European cinema, I am currently producing my final three short films. I replace inexperienced student actors with dancers and dialogue with the movement, using the body as way to viscerally tell a story. I am always seeking new ways to collaborate with other filmmakers and opportunities to learn. I am excited to be a part of Stage 32 for the vast amount of knowledge and input from filmmakers all over the world.

Hi Alaxandra! I really lookforward for your short films If I ever get the chance to see them :). If you would need an actor for a project I am always willing to work with new filmmakers :)
Thanks for connecting with me CJ. I love your story, it is so open and wonderful. I like that you feature strong female leads. I myself have been on a path to write strong female protagonists in my own work and I am always seeking advice from other screenwriters and filmmakers. Your story is inspiring.
Oh wow, Alexandra! It's so good of you to reach out with such kind comments. It's always great to meet a female screenwriter ready to bring more great female characters into the world :)

Hey guys, I have a question. What are your thoughts on dance movies? Do they inspire you? Do they make you want to get out there and dance? Tell me your thoughts.

Expand commentI meant to respond to this much sooner; apologies. Dance movies always inspire me and make me work with renewed energy after having watched one. That said, I think they come out best when the story and performers appear as realistic to the art world, as possible. For example, many movies depict performers as overall happy, with a few exceptions. Well, that's not reality. I personally thought I was total crap when I was in training and didn't even find out that I was a star student, at the time, until my mother told me that about ten years later. Plus, I pretty much cried about my various technical complications every day, once I returned home to soak; not realizing that most others were very happy with my technique and performance - perfectionism means for a lot of dissapointement in oneself. That kind of idea, be it a dancer, musician, singer or whomever, is very rarely portrayed. Another type of issue rarely portrayed is how friends and family play a huge part in affecting the rest of your daily life. Very often, they don't realize that the idea of going skiing, as a dancer; or to perhaps a noisy, crowded and smoke filled concert for a singer can be harmful to their performing abilities and to pressure them into such situations can be very stressful. Thanks for the question; very interesting topic.

Expand commentI love dance films and I make dance films. Someone once told me that dance films are not mainstream enough to make it, but I continue to do so and I am currently in production of two new short films. I take narrative stories and tell them through modern dance using dramatic close up cinematography. Pina Bausch is one of my heroes. I agree with everything said here, dance helps to heal us and transform our lives. It is needed in society as a way of expressing ourselves through movement. My dream is to make a dance feature film, first I continue to build my portfolio and skill set by making short films. Made my day to see this discussion.
I like watching new dance moves that I have never seen before and wish that I can dance like that! I think it is very creative and you should definitely make a dance movie! I would watch it about 50 times on Netflix!
