Tatiana Maslany talks about her new crowdfunding film Next In Line with writer, director and co-star Danny Dolan.

Next In Line is a queer dance horror film set in the cutthroat world of Los Angeles choreographers.

After losing out on the job of a lifetime, one choreographer's attempts at self-care are hijacked by an unhinged and malicious rival.

Tatiana will play Willow, a washed-up, faux-spiritual choreographer, whose choreography is a visceral expression of her inner mayhem, who becomes unhinged when she learns that her rival Travis (played by Danny Dolan) received good news from his agent.

If the film reaches its $50.000 goal by December 6, it will be filmed for 3 days in February and released by the end of spring 2025.

Excerpt from Carnival of Rhythm : A music and dance tribute to the peasants and workers of Brazil.

Katherine Mary Dunham (June 22, 1909 – May 21, 2006) was an American dancer, choreographer, anthropologist, and social activist.

Dunham had one of the most successful dance careers of the 20th century and directed her own dance company for many years.

She has been called the "matriarch and queen mother of black dance."

Pokotho is a theater kid who finds every person that isn’t him to be annoying and I honestly relate.

Also he’s an eldritch being beyond our comprehension so bonus points for that

Randomly remembered all those times someone on a forum or wherever would ask, like, "if your comic was ever turned into a movie or a tv-show, what would you want it to be like", and I was always spewing something about obvious answers like Fortiche or whatever

BUT ACTUALLY. That's wrong.

The correct answer is that I would want it to be filmed as one of those film-student-project fan movies. Where no one has any money and their camera isn't stabilized and the 'sets' are all local buildings but everyone is very committed to making it work with what they have. And all the actors are friends or classmates or someone's parents and therefore look especially real and human.
