Project Overview:
I was hired as the videographer and cinematographer for one of Mimmo Miccolis’s original dance works, performed by seven dancers as part of World Pride DC at the DuPont Underground—a major honor and highlight of my videography experience. My role involved capturing the full performance with artistic precision while also navigating the creative and technical challenges of filming in a low-light, unconventional venue.

Objectives and Strategy:

The goal was to create a visually striking film that honored both the choreography and the significance of the event. With the dark, industrial aesthetic of the DuPont Underground, I adapted my shooting approach in real time—making deliberate use of lighting, movement, and composition to ensure each dancer was captured clearly and powerfully within the space.

It was a proud moment to contribute to an international celebration of identity and artistry, overcoming lighting and space challenges to deliver a polished, high-impact visual story.
