Since starting Thousand Faces, I (Marcus) have wanted to make a dance film. Not the kind with a trite plot in between music video routines, or the kind where performers just dance then fuck. I want to combine different kinds of expressive performance and movement, so mixing dance and sex as seamlessly as possible makes total sense to me. With the help of Yiming’s Bachata dance experience and choreography skills, we took inspiration from each other’s musical & sexual interests, as well as the sex-work traditions of stripping, lap-dance, & chair-dance. We wanted to destroy existing expectation of what a porn film involving dance (or vice-versa) could be, and create something fresh & new.
