In 1919, we were on the verge of both great freedoms and great restrictions, and some were on the verge of making it big, having stars in their eyes all the same. Dance Till Dawn is a long-form music video that glimpses at the lives of performers as they step into the spotlight, and likewise, as they step off stage into a society swirling in change. Inspired by the saucy world of the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic, the characters in Dance Till Dawn echo the lives of the era’s major players: Marion Davies, the starlet; William Randolph Hearst, the millionaire; Bert Williams, famed comedian and the first person of color to be a member of Actors Equity; and of course, Florenz Ziegfeld, the master impresario.“The Great War, the sea of change, the wars we wage within ourselves…be soft and frolic while the world is pulled apart.” How different is the sea of change today?
