Filmmaker Statement

I wanted to write a love story but not one that we have all seen before. ON THE SIDEWALK, AT NIGHT is about the love for the things we do and how, when shared with other people, these things bring light into our lives. For the two strangers in this short film, their dedication to their dancing brings them together, a shared feeling of artistic struggle unites them. In a moment of vulnerability, they remind each other of why it is they chose their profession in the first place. It's not a love story about the girl getting the guy; it's a story where two humans connect, part, and carry the moment they shared with them into the future.
