When women dance it is a revolution.

Interview with Writer/Director/Producer Erin M McCuskey

Congratulations! Why did you make your film?

When women dance it is a revolutionary act.

Imagine I’m a member of the audience. Why should I watch this film?

This film is not for everyone.

How do personal and universal themes work in your film?

When my mother died I couldn’t breathe. This is a film about human rights.

How have the script and film evolved over the course of their development?

This is part of a film project called Luxville being made as it goes, in public, not waiting for perfection.

What type of feedback have you received so far?

It has raised many emotions in viewers,

Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?

It is not surprising that viewers are surprised at their emotion.

What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?

Human rights stories need to be shared.

Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film’s message?

Citizens of Luxville can sign in at luxville.me

What type of impact and/or reception would you like this film to have?

A slow burn.

What’s a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?

Freedom is fragile. Our bodies are the front line. Our daughters are watching.

Would you like to add anything else?

Please share.

What other projects are the key creatives developing or working on now?

Luxville project continues, our next PhotoPlay will happen in September.
