F*Dance

Short Film (Full Length) – 2008

Add to watch list

There's blood, sweat and tequila-flavoured tears in F*Dance. The wildcard finalist took away the 2008 Grand National title in short film contest 48Hours. When Harry Knuckles (Reagan Morris) a big time player in the underground art of finger dancing sustains a gory injury in a battle against G Nail (Bernice Breckon), the future ain't looking bright. Knuckles drowns his sorrows till his mentor (Karen Philips, in Mr. Miyagi mode) inspires him to pull on his training glove. References to classics like Rocky, Karate Kid and Flashdance abound as Knuckles faces off for a revenge bout. Matthew Weir composed the air punching soundtrack.
