Dancing With Waves is a documentary that explores the ways dance group activities impact young lives. Dance is both a social activity and a form of self-expression. What impact does organized dancing have on young people? Emmitt Thrower's film follows 2-3 young dancers from New Wave Dance Group to document their experiences and development.
Emmitt's film work challenges current boundaries and actively contributes to an ever-evolving view of oneself. He is a storyteller using images and sounds to tell stories of failures and successes from a slightly different angle. He aspires to teach about the value of human interaction. He wants to break out of technological relationships and return to real human interpersonal connections. To Emmitt, film is a reminder that the life stories that we each are creating are not pre-written reruns, but original scripts that that we can edit and re-work so that we may arrive at the ending of our own choosing.
