Dance, Alex Pearl

Alex Pearl: Dance was my first film. I was so unsure of what I was doing that I was blushing while I made it. Essentially I was recording while playing with an electric toothbrush, a Barbie skirt, string and a red trolley. Without a plan when I started, Dance turned out to be the first of a few films documenting moments in the lives of a series of simple automata. Each has their own character and this one has been described in terms of loneliness, disappointment and futility. On the whole though it is meant to be funny.
