"Night Dancing" Trailer (TIFF)

Written, produced and directed by Barney Cokeliss (RSA) and edited by Marco Perez (Union), “Night Dancing” stars Jason Thorpe (well-known in the UK for comedy, taking a more dramatic turn here) as a man whose nights are consumed by visions of a street dancer (Louise Tanoto). Unsure whether she - or her partner (Jacob Ingram-Dodd) - are real, our protagonist relates this to his therapist (Alister Cameron), in an attempt to qualify his sanity, or, perhaps, to free his soul. “‘Night Dancing’ was a great opportunity to work together on a creatively ambitious drama piece," says Cokeliss of his work with Perez. "I knew I wanted his artistry, attention to detail and his great sense of humanity for this tender and delicate film.”
