The Audience. The Energy. The Music.

As an actor who auditioned for the short will attest to, I'm a big DANCE MUSIC head. But when I began creating "Glo," I wanted this process to be fun for all those involved, starting with me, and I always revert to 'music,' when I think fun. Why I came up with clubs and dance music as the back drop for Glo. I knew we'd have 'fun,' shooting it! :) And we will, tons. Especially when we watch the dancers and DJs do their thing and bop along. Bop? Is that the right term? Lolol. Anyway. Ultra Dance Music Festival combined with some inspiring performers on the NYC club scene inspired some of the thinking behind the main female character. And I think shooting her scenes along with her interactive scenes with the male lead will make this a quick and interesting shoot. Especially, if we get the performers we're shooting for. As far as the DJs for the soundtrack, there are sooooooo many super talented DJs about. Some of which I follow and a big fan of, but I hope to collaborate with a great sound supervisor or another producer with an insane ear for dance music. Or there are several DJ/composers I think could handle the entire film. Anyway, I hope we'll also attract the dance music audiences of the Colorado and Ultra Dance Music festivals. As I also want those who simply enjoy good entertainment to be able to come to this film and be on a ride while following some of the challenges of my characters and story. Those already interested in dance or dance music (here and internationally) will really enjoy this one. It's going to be fascinating to engage them, while telling a story that reaches for the jugular and holds on for years to come. Ambitious I know. But my hair is short, there is no hair to fall out. So why not? ~Tanyeno, Director

Deadmau5 - The prototype of DJ/Dance music in Glo

The other dream, for the soundtrack. Have a listen, then envision the Go Go dancer doing her numbers to his music. I imagine the choreographer will have a BALL. Glo Director, Tanyeno Wotorson
