"Fluid" is a dance film trilogy that highlights the hardships and the beauty of the African American experience through music, prose, and dance. Starting from the middle passage and ending with self-acceptance, "Fluid" will take you on an emotional journey that will leave you hopeful, inspired, and ready to continue the work to bring about healing.

The three short films that make up this series are "These Waters Bleed Deep," "Tone:nal," and "Chesed." Each of these films can stand alone, but together they complete a story of affliction, triumph, and love.

"These Waters Bleed Deep" has already been completed and is an official selection of the 2021 Dances With Films LA Festival!

We are asking for your support in bringing to life the remaining two films in the "Fluid" trilogy. In creating this trilogy, we aim to motivate necessary conversations that will bring humanity closer. We'd love for you to be a part of this journey. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, and for your desire to mend bridges.

As a pandemic disrupts society, stripping artists of their livelihood, they are forced to remind us that they are more than entertainment. Dancer Michael Bishop wants to help his community by getting the attention of the New York State Legislature, and so he must draft a powerful bill for the future protection of the arts.

Michael Bishop and Cinematographer Christian Pinto are working to create a 30-minute documentary that will emphasize the problem artists and performers face during an event like the Covid-19 Pandemic and why it could be important for New York to bolster an industry that brings so much to the city financially and to the world culturally.

We will follow Michael as he drafts the Artist Care Act (ACA) and visits other performers and organization leaders to share their hopes for a future of recovery and protection. While this documentary will primarily exhibit dancers, the mission of this bill is to garner more state support for artists and companies of all kinds who were thriving off their ability to create and promote their passions. And although we'd like to complete this project this year while the problem remains relevant with our current pandemic, there is a desire to expand this story to include artists and organizations of other fields within the arts and cultural industry, producing another and greater documentary in the near future. It would be wonderful if you could support us along the way.
