as the second day of filming approaches

I'm trying to make sense of the story, but without being too literal. Got to leave gaps. Got to allow the imagination to linger. Don't answer all the questions. But answer enough for it to make sense. A tricky balance.

With a dance film it's hard to know for certain what's going to work, there are few guidelines to go by - it's not theatre, it's not simply dance and it's not just film. So I shoot more than I need, under the pretext that if you ain't shot it you ain't got it.
