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

Glo The Film

Work Begins on the Film again. It's 2013 and a new year. Moving forward. Thank-you to everyone who keeps up with all involved!

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

CHOREOGRAPHER/DANCER TO WORK ON FILM

Simone Sobers is... the choreographer we hope to work with on "Glo." She will be choreographing all the dance pieces in the film (main character's fiance a Go -Go dancer, meaning she dances in crafty outfits to dance music and the transgender artist's dance installation works). We are very, very, excited about bringing this extraordinary choreographer's works to film and think it will lift the characterizations off the screen, rousing the audience to a state they rarely visit. __ Please help support the director's vision on screen in this film by donating to our online fundraiser (as low as a dollar on up to, well you decide). After the film is completed we have plans to distribute it via film festivals across the United States and maybe produce a larger piece (if it catches on enough) for movie theaters.

Dance Parade + Dance Fest

We were out at Dance Parade yesterday, then continued on to the Dance Fest promoting the film.

We watched some of the performances, met some people who wanted to make connections but mostly talked to people then handing them a flyer explaining what we were doing.

About 70% of the people we approached took our flyer and/or talked to us with the other 30% ignoring or flat out saying no before we could pitch or engage them in anyway. But we hope a percentage of those who came actually find the RocketHub. As we need to raise money to do this film, so we need some donations to our RocketHub: http://www.rockhub.com/projects/7425-fuel-a-narrative-film-about-bias

Still, it was fun to be out & about, to see what was happening, connect with seemingly open hearts.

Diversity Rules - James Koury (press coverage)

James Koury has been in the public arena for many years. He has been the City Clerk in the City of Oneonta, NY, since 1992 and is the Editor of Diversity Rules Magazine. He is very active in his hometown community of Oneonta and is a passionate advocate for queer causes and equality for all. He started Diversity Rules Magazine in 2006 because his area of New York had very little in the way of written publications for the queer community. Diversity Rules Magazine is now New York's premier queer monthly publication serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer and questioning community and its friends. It began as a printed publication but is currently in digital format at www.diversityrulesmagazine.com with the intention of returning to print media when resources allow.

Mr. Koury is an avid writer, a novice artist, and an all around eclectic individual with a very liberal outlook on life, politics and social issues. He makes no apologies for his stand on issues and believes everyone should express their own true selves in their own way. He lives by Aristotle’s quote, “It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it.” His mission is to get people to think and think for themselves regardless of one’s belief systems.

He currently lives in Oneonta. He is single and lives with his dog Ozmo and his three feline companions; Emmie, Gooba and Izzy.
