A Rhythmic Fever
I had the privilege of being asked to create a film for the films.dance series, that was produced by Jacob Jonas The Company. Working closely with producers/creatives Jill Wilson and Jacob Jonas, we came up with our creative outline to tell tap dancer Jumaane Taylors story. Shot over 2 days in Chicago, myself, sound pro Nick Mihalevich, and Jumaane Taylor created our imagery and soundtrack. Editor and creative contributor Rob Prochnow pieced together a truly unique representation of tap dance. Nick Mihalevich provided the soundtrack and audio design that represents the other half of tap dance, the rhythm and music that Jumaane creates.
