SHELTER IN PLACE

You can watch each film on Directors Library, Booooooom, Director’s Notes and Film Shortage. 

Themes of isolation and boredom during the time of quarantine are explored in Shelter In Place.

Each of five films bring together music and dance to show how humans are coping during these unprecedented times, diverging from the ordinary dance routines we’ve seen before and creating more abstract primal expressions. 

The tracks all have their own unique feel, which I felt was the perfect opportunity to showcase different people and their unique approaches to quarantining at home.

The films explore a range of emotions people have been experiencing during quarantine, from frustration and anger to hope and simply over-eating. 

I wanted each film to feel like we’ve stumbled upon a raw moment captured with everyday people.
