E T A
dir Talia Shea Levin
USA
While waiting alone in a bus station, uncertain and insecure, one woman fights the urge to isolate herself and instead connects to the strangers around her to build a community. Set to an original song created specifically for the project, E T A combines the languages of music, dance, and film to communicate the power of unity as a peaceful weapon against the threat of division. Co-created by Alexis Floyd and Talia Shea Levin.
words from the filmmaker
The second dance film from co-creators Talia Shea Levin and Alexis
Floyd, E T A uses kinetic expression to communicate unity as a peaceful
weapon against division. Beginning from a desire to connect with others
experiencing isolation, Levin and Floyd combined the tools of
movement, music, and film to build a beacon for community. Floyd
composed an original song, “Enough,” and choreographed a dance
alongside the women of SIZA Dance Company, while Levin wrote a
screenplay based on the core concept and brought together the
behind-the-camera team to capture the story for the screen. This
collaborative process created a community as strong as the one
depicted on screen. The final film shows a woman looking beyond her
self-doubt and forging connections to the world that will make her spirit
and that of those around her grow big and bright.
Our hope is that E T A spreads connection wherever it goes.
why we love this film
"E T A" captures the togetherness we are all craving and too rarely get. The sense of community in this film is palpable and kinda makes us want to take the bus.
