About the filmmaker

Mitchell Rose is an American director of short films known for comedic work and dance film. He began his career as a choreographer and performance artist and then migrated to film and his works have won numerous awards.

His technique of “hyper-matchcutting” has become its own genre in the screendance field. The New York Times called him: "A rare and wonderful talent." The Washington Post wrote that his work was “in the tradition of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati—funny and sad and more than the sum of both.”
