Honored and excited to share this short film that I've been working on for some time. I've been very lucky to get to know David Butts, a Mama Lu Parks dancer and torchbearer of Lindy Hop (a culturally significant and uniquely American dance).

It premiered at Lindy Focus last night!

I am so thankful for my friends David Mudre and Rafał Pustelny for helping me to light, dress, film, and craft this story.
Additional thanks go to the incomparable Bobby White and LaTasha Barnes for their assistance in approaching this important project. Deena Stuckey helped us to make the filming happen, and featured the work of Mrs. Debra Youngblood and the Mama Lu Parks dance ensemble.

Visual Stories, Worth Telling

Our stories are what make us who we are. Joyful or heartbreaking. Triumphant or defeated. There are billions of them out there, each as captivating as the next. What these stories need, more than anything else, is someone who cares enough to tell them with the passion–and compassion–that they deserve.

That’s where TORQ comes in. So much more than the production arm of TILT, TORQ is a small group of filmmakers and dreamers who believe that a tale well-told is the first step in changing the world. And whether that telling takes 15 seconds or three hours, we believe it should always be presented as though it’s the most important story in history. Because at that moment, it is.
