Movies

The Severing
Producer
A cathartic movement film expressing feelings and emotions through a 'story of movement and text', rather than a plot. Capturing emotion and physicality on an experiential and non-linear narrative level.
star-crossed: the film
Choreographer
Takes the music from the studio to the screen with gorgeous visuals and a sense of heightened reality envisioned by Musgraves and Zeinali and shot by Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Matthew Libatique.
John L – Black Midi
Director
Members of a cult of sorts revolt against their megalomaniacal leader. The Los Angeles-based choreographer Nina McNeely conceived a freaky dance performance for this ecstatic music video for the London-based rock band Black Midi. The surreal scenery is intensified by computer-animated structures, and the dancers’ exaggerated facial expressions—reminiscent of early expressionist cinema—are a pretty clear indication of the video’s humorous conclusion.

Climax
Choreographer
Young dancers gather in a remote and empty school building to rehearse on a cold and wintry night. The all-night celebration soon turns into a hallucinatory nightmare when they learn that their sangria is laced with LSD.
Double Dutchess: Seeing Double
Director
A high-art, high-fashion showcase of a star's many personas-and a vivid reminder that our art, not our obstacles, ultimately defines us. Free, focused, and fucking shit up again, it shows every side of Fergie-the superstar, the visual artist, the creative director, the label head, the fashion icon, the wife, and, she'll tell you most importantly, "mom."
