Obviously dance, music and choreography plays an essential role when producing a musical-movie and we have been incredible fortunate to have renowned choreographer Karen D. Savage come on board. Over the period of 8 months she and composer/director Götz Neumann worked very closely to create what we feel is an exceptional choreography.

See what Karen had to say about the process in a short interview we took with her during a shooting break.
