Routine Divine

Dance Film

Director/Producer: Connell Oberman
Director of Photography: Forrest Sassaman

Themes

Both visually and dance-wise the film starts in a gritty apartment with pedestrian movement slowly evolving into a heightened and visually rich world. Connell and I wanted to explore very distinct section transitions both in terms of color, movement, energy, and natural elements like fire and water.

The film’s evolution begins in black and white then transitions into a dull city Manhattan skyrise, water, sun and fire, and finally a rooftop punctuated with a clothes line of oranges and reds.

The film is currently in post production and is scheduled to release Spring of 2025
