Baile De Torito

Baile de Torito is a dance tradition that belongs to the town that keeps it alive, and the film was made with the community rather than about it. Filmed in Spanish, on their schedule, with the dancers and families telling the story in their own words.

Documentary work like this is about trust as much as craft. The result is a film the community recognizes as its own, and one that travels — carrying a tradition most audiences have never seen into rooms it would never reach otherwise.
