You Just Do. (Dancing with Chronic Illness)

"You Just Do." is a documentary that focuses on four different dancers who live with invisible chronic illnesses.

2 in a Million

2 in a Million (Director’s Cut) is J.A. Moreno’s personal take on the official music video he directed for twice- Grammy-nominated DJ/Producer Steve Aoki, multi-award winning musician Sting, and platinum-selling trio SHAED. 

The video follows two dancers in one long shot, as they relay the feeling of falling in love and being soulmates. Filmed in just thirty minutes at the end of the official shoot, Moreno’s cut focuses on the dancers, seen only as silhouettes in the official version, and highlights their outstanding technical skills and chemistry.

Using the original choreography as a basis, Moreno’s direction delivers a spontaneous, raw and emotionally engaging performance.

You bet I dance! - Und ob ich tanze!

In 2019, a dance workshop for children with cerebral palsy takes place for the first time in Germany, more precisely at the Staatsballett Berlin. Leonie and Hannah, two girls with very different manifestations of this early childhood brain injury, embark on their first big dance adventure together with eight other children. But what is possible for children with physical and sometimes also cognitive restrictions? And then at one of the best dance theaters in the world - the Staatsballett Berlin? The children give an impressive answer. They dance. In their own special way. Dancing means being happy. And that happiness makes the documentary "You bet I dance!" through the irrepressible zest for life of the children and the noticeable love of the parents formally tangible. 

A Mother's Soliloquy

A recovering alcoholic must make a moral inventory in order to reconnect with her estranged son. 

Born out of personal experiences, "A Mother's Soliloquy" combines visual poetry with an original score to explore my own tumultuous relationship with my mother.

Best played loud.

A Tango To Remember

“A Tango to Remember” is a short film drama about a wife whose husband suffers from Alzheimer's. One fall afternoon, she takes him in his wheelchair to a pier in Jersey City where they first met and danced. She recalls moments of their youth when they were young and very much in love. Can music and dance bring her husband´s memory back? Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. and one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. In recent years, music and dance therapy have effectively been used for patients suffering from all forms of dementia.

Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants

Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants. Two world premieres. Two storied ballet companies. One history changing event. This is the documentary that goes behind the scenes to show the artistic journey of these works, from concept through rehearsal and ultimately to the stage.
