This visual album style film highlights stories from everyday people, inviting us to look at one another with more curiosity and empathy, while also highlighting the process of creating vulnerable work together in the midst of a pandemic. A small non-profit production company in Chattanooga,TN gets the chance of a lifetime - full funding to produce a 7 week show, which if proven successful, means the promise of future investment. When then the pandemic halts all live shows and productions for most theaters and dance companies the world over, rather than giving up, this team of artists pull together to create a visual album style, feature length film that examines the struggle and triumph of everyday lives of 7 dancers (Jeri Eduave, Emma Pannkuk, Kenny Keawekane, Maddi Lane, Damien Chaney, Ryan Roberts, and Jessi Faircloth) while reinforcing the value of empathy and connection.
