Short Film ”THEN COMES THE BODY” by Filmmaker Jacob Krupnick

Jacob Krupnick is a filmmaker and photographer who creates stories through movement.

His new documentary short, THEN COMES THE BODY is about underdogs, achieving a dream, and dance.

It starts with Daniel Ajala, a self-taught ballet dancer who discovers the European dance form in the American movie SAVE THE LAST DANCE. With no ballet schools in Nigeria, he opens Leap of Dance Academy in his front yard.

Jacob often collaborates with people whose voices are not well-represented to find unconventional and dignifying ways to share narratives and he has achieved that with his film THEN COMES THE BODY.
