OUR LATEST PROJECT: SOLO - A DOCUMENTARY

All documentaries start with one core idea and many end up telling a different story than the producers intended. Making a documentary is an exploration. Ernest Shackleton set off to the South Pole. Along the way, he was trapped in the ice, rowed hundreds of miles over open ocean, climbed mountains, and finally rescued his men. This made a much better story than the original idea of the trip to the South Pole.

Solo is the journey of six McKnight Artist Fellows in Dance, as they explore their art through the commissioning of a choreographer who creates a unique dance for them. We watch as Tamara Nadel, Colette Illarde, Mifa Ko, Karla Grotting, Abdo Sayegh, and Laura Selle Virtucio explore their goals, dreams, and desires for the future.

This has been an ambitious project for us, and we are happy to report that the principal photography is complete. We are now in the process of editing over 100 hours of footage down into the concise, compelling story that it is.
