This weekend I’ll be up in Cincinnati for filming in the movie, Swing X.
SwingX is a modern day “fish out of water” comedy. Jason is a clumsy IT specialist who when suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed, is mistakenly hired as a dance teacher at a local school. Something seems better than nothing and hilarity ensues as he tries to stay one step ahead and falls head over heels into the world of Lindy Hop.
We all experience fear and uncertainty in everyday life, whether it’s the fear of being judged by those around us or the fear that our actions will fall short. SwingX uses the positive, high energy world of Lindy Hop to demonstrate the benefits of facing challenges head on.
Lindy Hop as a dance form has a long and colorful history. SwingX is a funny, quirky, and touching story that draws its inspiration from the rich style and community of Lindy Hop.
No, I’m not dancing in it. The Low-Down Sires is providing some music for the sound track and we’ll be filming a couple of scenes where we’re the band playing at some dances.
I don’t have our exact schedule yet, but I think that I will off Friday night and Saturday afternoon, so if anyone is up in Cincinnati and wants to get together for a lesson or for a beverage drop me a line.
Update – So the final title of this film was Ctrl+Alt+Dance. I can be seen in the background during the big dance scenes in the movie. I haven’t watched the film beginning to end because it’s, frankly, not that good. You can see me briefly in the trailer.
