May 28, 2021 - Filmmaker/Dancer Janell Burgess (CHAMELEON)

CHAMELEON was the winner of BEST SOUND & MUSIC at the May 2021 DANCE Film Festival.

“"Chameleon" is a transformative blend of two spirits becoming one. Representing the continuous re-inventing of relationship, it evokes and awakens both feelings of submissiveness & sensuality. Originally created as an ensemble dance for stage work, today, Choreographer and Artistic Director of Jazz Spectrum Dance Company, Janell Burgess has re-invented "Chameleon" into a beautiful pas de deux for film. Ms. Burgess worked closely with composer Cisco Dimas to create new & original music specifically for this dance for film.”

Great chat with Janell Burgess on the process making this film during COVID, and how when they lost their location shoot days before production turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.
