I executive produced this profile of the founder of the Pilobolus Dance Theater. It's the story of one of the most influential choreographers of the 20th century. Pendleton is a founder of both the hyper-athletic Pilobolus company and Momix, a company of dancer-illusionists. The film blends interviews with Pendleton and others, plus superbly captured dance routines directed and photographed by Bob Elfstrom, and written/produced by Lucy Hilmer. Bob Elfstrom is a director and cameraman who specializes in documentary filmmaking. He’s got an intuitive sense of story, a feature film feel for lighting, and an athletic agility with a handheld camera. Bob has produced, directed and photographed hundreds of documentary programs for serious media outlets such as PBS, National Geographic, NOVA, FRONTLINE, CBS, CBC, HBO, BBC and the Discovery Channel.
