"The Elevator Dance (For Elisa) Remix" is a re-enactment and a radical reinterpretation of the infamous Elisa Lam elevator surveillance video.

On February 13, 2013, the Los Angeles Police Department released surveillance footage of a missing young woman. The footage showed Elisa Lam in a hotel elevator behaving strangely. This was her last known sighting. It was an instant internet sensation and was seen by 3 million people in China alone. The unsettling video prompted one person to write, "I'm so scared, I'm shaking. I'm numb."

Her body was found on February 19, and the circumstances surrounding her death are still shrouded in mystery.

Rather than trying to solve the mystery of her death, this film is meant to be a celebration of her life. Her unusual moves have been reimagined into a dance where her spirit is set free.
