by Andreas Guzman
China, Hong Kong
Every Step Counts is a digitally scripted series that follows the dancers from Hong Kong Ballet in an artistic dance docu-style set against the urban backdrop and natural landscape of Hong Kong. Created by the Hong Kong Ballet’s Creative Media Studio, the series aims to create artistic and honest portraits of these unique and diverse human beings in order to give the audience insight into their daily lives, rituals, core values, and artistic influences.
words from the filmmaker
This episode takes an inside look at the artistic inspiration and rituals of Feng Jingyi, a Chinese corps de ballet member of the Hong Kong Ballet. With her athletic background, she dives into her perceptions on how demanding and rigorous ballet can be and to spark an interest in people who aren’t familiar with the art form.
why we love this film
Refreshing, entertaining, and fantastically edited. Anyone making mini-docs about dancers should take notes.
