BYU Assistant Professor of Dance Rachel Barker’s film Sedimented Here was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Dance Camera West festival — one of the top three dance film festivals in the US. Three BYU Dance majors starred in the film — senior students McCall McClellan, Abby Trinca, and now alumnus Jared McClure. The trailer from Dance Camera West and their announcement can be seen here.
There were 250 films submitted from 35 countries. Barker’s film was selected as one of 16 finalists, among the likes of choreographer Hofesh Schechter, as well as the director of the Australian Dance Theater, Garry Stewart, and Adi Halfin, renowned filmmaker for companies such as Batsheva Dance Theater in Israel.
This film, Sedimented Here, starring three talented BYU students, was competing with seasoned professional dancers and filmmakers! The BYU Department of Dance is so proud of these dancers, faculty and filmmakers.
Barker said, “I am so thankful for my amazing camerawoman and editor, Ellen Maynard, producer Scott Cook, and second cameraman and drone operator, Walter Mirkss.
These 16 award-winning films were shown this month at the “Best of Fest” event — at a social-distancing friendly drive-in theater in Los Angeles!
Congratulations to all involved!
