Experiencing Interruptions?

Mine

This film was shot in an abandoned mine in the Mojave. The piece is rooted in shared strength - two people who know one another deeply but are continually finding new layers. They relate to one another without predefined gender roles - both dancers lift one another in virtuosic and inventive ways, interspersed with quirky, personal moments.
