Aistė Ptakauskė et cetera

„Baleto aristokratas“ – dokumentinis filmas apie vieną įtakingiausių lietuvių baleto kūrėjų Joną Katakiną (1950–2005) ir jo orias pastangas net ir nulipus nuo didžiosios scenos gyventi pagal vertybes, kurias ištikimai puoselėja aristokratiškasis baleto menas. Filme surinkti J.Katakino kolegų, mokinių, šeimos narių pasakojimai byloja, kad šio tarptautinio lygio baleto solisto ir pedagogo gyvenimo ir karjeros drama su neblėstančiu aktualumu atsikartoja ir tęsiasi jo mokinių ir kolegų gyvenimuose.

This is a sketch for a new documentary I’ve started developing with a young and promising producer in New York:

Orpheus Comes Home

If you care to let us know what stuck with you, what you’d like to see developed, and what you could do without, that’d be truly helpful for our future process.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Wow, that was fast! It seems I only arrived in Syracuse yesterday… and now I’m officially done! A Newhouse alumnus!

Moreover, I have an artifact to proof that I learned a thing or two during this year. My capstone project - a short about an unconventional swimming lesson which eventually turns into a lesson in love:

Swim Coach

Enjoy!
