Filming Day 2

   On Monday March 23, we went with our main character Maggie to film her dance. We met up at a public outside stage by our neighborhood which in the story is the place where Maggie practiced since she was little. We tried to shoot similar shots that we got with little "Maggie" to mirror their dancing and emphasize that she's always been a dancer.

  Maggie has suffered a terrible car accident where she broke her right leg and tore her ligaments. Due to the severity of the accident, the doctors tell her that she will never be able to dance again. After a year of physical therapy, she is able to walk again. Like any stubborn dancer, Maggie is willing to risk everything to dance once again. The shots captured in the film opening are the shot of Maggie dancing for the first time after her accident. In these shots she is trying to push through the pain as she slowly starts dancing. Unfortunately, her body gives out just as she is about to take her first leap, and she falls.

Christina and I were lucky enough to work with the incredible actress and dancer Magali Trench. She was ready to do whatever we asked of her and even imputed some ideas to make our idea come to life.
