The brainchild of incredible dancer Allegra Searle-LeBel, “Earthkeeper” is a project meant to explore the possibilities of dance and human expression without the constraint of gravity. In 2019, I came on to help shoot and direct this film, and we began zero-G training over Houston, coincidentally on the 50th anniversary moon-landing flight, which included Astronaut Scott Kelly. The hope is to release this project post-COVID.

Seats provided a decent way to stabilize the camera for shots. Photo by Steve Boxall.
