Wolfe has tabbed July 29
as the DVD debut date for award-winning filmmaker Alan Brown’s latest film, Five
Dances.
The ARR is 298 days … the
film had a one-stop theatrical showcase last year after piling up a ton of
awards on the film festival circuit, including Best Picture laurels at the Tel
Aviv LGBT International Film Festival and Rio Gay Film Festival.
After Book
of Love, Superheroes and Private Romeo it was pretty much
established that Brown was a filmmaker to be reckoned with. In other words, he could write whatever he
wanted, direct it and, perhaps, more importantly get it produced.
There are characters in
this film. There are plot elements as
well, but Five Dances is about choreography, dance, love and commitment. The film is a powerful tribute to the
beauty, labor, pain and emotional investment involved in the love of dance as
performance art.
Chip, played by newcomer
Ryan Steele, is literally fresh off the farm and is only in New York City as a
result of a Joffrey Ballet scholarship.
He has the dream, but neither the backing (broke is broke) nor the
emotional maturity to really push beyond the neophyte level of artistic
expression. He’s got the ticket, but
needs, metaphorically speaking, to get it punched.
His assigned dance
partner, Theo (Aussie pro dancer Reed Luplau), painfully manages to break
through both the immaturity and the walls of “fear” (trust) that inhibit Chip
from being both the dancer … and the person that he can truly become.
