5...6...7...8

5...6...7...8 Lighthearted Documentary Dir/Prod: Andy Milkis The award winning documentary, 5...6...7...8 is the inspiring story of Nova Jazz -- an elite girls dance company. The dancers, ranging in age from 10 to 18, are based out of The Pulse Performing Arts Studio, in Bedford Hills, NY.Ã,Â The film begins as a year-in-the life of Nova Jazz, but quickly evolves into an intimate portrayal of five key members, and the woman who makes it all possible. 5...6...7...8 delicately crafts the story of each character as the year progresses, culminating in the triumph of the final concert performance. This one is a film that I was struck by early on and has since gone on to a prolific run on the film festival circuit. 5...6...7...8, like the subjects it documents, has its own unique voice, its own unique perspective, and a flair all its own.
