"As a filmmaker I feel like I have grown a lot in the past three years, and this seems to be validated by the success in attaining international screenings my last film, Tumbling After, is seeing," says Victoria BC Director Bryan Skinner.
About Tumbling After
Tumbling After is a mockumentary about a burlesque dance troupe, co-managed by choreographer Jack Fontaine (John Emmet Tracy) and costumer Jill Monroe (Kelly Hudson). The troupe begins a downward spiral when it becomes entangled with a former neo-burlesque star, Rosie Bubbles (Johannah Newmarch).
Shot "cinema direct"-style over four days, the "documentary participants" improvised the entire film. While the director plotted the scenes, the film's dialogue and actions were entirely improvised by the cast.
