…NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES:
- Cristina Benedetti, Choreographer, Educator- “Hi Tony!!! How are you doing??? HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Hope you and the family are doing well, in great health and with a lot of ideas for this 2021.We are doing good over here. Just keep trying to stay creative in this uncertain time. I have been focusing on learning more about directing, storytelling and new skills, like Video Editing and After Effects.
I released my first short film this past month. It is about women in the street dance community and it highlights unity within diversity. I am really proud of this project and wanted to share it with you.
Below all the info:
Title: COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS.
Synopsis: A powerful celebration of women in the street dance world. It highlights unity within diversity. It showcases the beauty of different backgrounds, ethnicities and stories that connect through one passion and love for dance and each other. It honors the legacy of dance pioneer Marjory 'Lotus' Smarth, today no longer with us physically.

Using the divine language of passion and artistry, Marjory showed us that we are united through a universal vibration. Invisible yet present and strong, this thread connects us all to something greater – a power… a purpose… a hope… Never knowing when inspiration strikes or where it can take you, the impact of a simple moment or gesture can inspire a generation. Only in time can one truly understand the fine connection in between moments. Though she was the seed of the experience, what continues to thrive is the Collective Consciousness.”

Also I am looking for any extra opportunity to add experience in the skills I mentioned above. I was wondering if you by any chance (or any of your contacts) knows of any internship or entry level as video editing/storytelling or any freelance gig... I would really appreciate any help to help me grow in my career and find new work opportunities as well…”
Thank you!!! We miss you!!”

It will uplift your spirits and bring needed hope at a dark time in history.

Judaline Cassidy, Plumber
“Besides enjoying the film and getting to know all the women who were interviewed,
I genuinely felt like I learned something from watching it. I learned about so many
industries and careers I’d never heard of before. And so much of it made me think
(or maybe rethink) about how i present myself in my life and career. Like when so
many of the interviewees mentioned that being technically knowledgeable was
important to breaking into their industry… I think there was a lot of advice that can
affect how I’ll carry and comport myself professionally in the future, which I really
appreciate!
I felt the film was empowering, visually stunning (loved the footage in the mountains
out west), and left me with hope for future generations of women embarking out
on their careers.”
