What an incredible journey this has been! The Movement has been spreading all of the world from Australia to Europe, and from to Brazil to the Middle East, and back to the US. Traveling and helping organize screenings has left us cherishing every moment, but also not having many moments to spare. The DVD will officially be released on May 3rd, which is Pilates Day. We will be traveling to Salt Lake City for a big release screening hosted by Streamline Bodyworks. Eva and Maya at Streamline are not only in the film, but they have also been strong supporters of the Movement from the beginning. Click here for more info about the screening.  

If you're wondering where you'll be able to purchase the DVD, look no further than here! 
Feel free to contact us if you're interested in studio pricing to sell the film at your studio.

See you in Salt Lake!

We're getting ready to head to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl for the premiere of A Movement of Movement on October 10th. It's going to be a blast, and we hope to see you there!  Click here for premiere details.

The time has finally come to announce the premiere of A Movement of Movement.  It will be released at the 2013 Pilates Method Alliance Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on October 10th.  The film is coming in one month from today!  In the mean time, check out the official trailer here.

We've covered a lot of ground in the last few months.  The film is almost complete!  Here's an article that talks about the inspiration behind the Movement.  Enjoy!  Click here to read. 

It's always interesting making a documentary because you're never 100% sure what you'll end up with.  All of the preproduction and planning in the world still can't predict the future.  We went into this film with the idea to explore what is the "big deal" about Pilates.  What is behind all of the hype?  Why has it grown in the way that it has? These questions turned out to be the perfect gateway into exploring the real theme of the film, the essence of Pilates.  A Movement of Movement has been in production for 7 months, and it has come thousands of miles since its inception, literally. The expansion of Pilates is only a small part of the film. In exploring how and why Pilates has spread, something caught our attention. There's something about Pilates, other than the history and science that is driving the method; just like there is something more to surfing than just gliding on the water.  What is it about certain things in life that keep pulling us back?  What is the essence of Pilates?

Where does the time go?! We've been editing and shooting so much that the last few months have disappeared.  The good news is that we now have something that looks very close to a film.  With so much happening over the last month, there is a lot to be excited about.  We've been talking about the premiere date and location of A Movement of Movement. We'll let you know as soon as it's official! 

This week we're packing our bags for Turkey where we'll be filming the final segment for the film.  We will be filming with Mareile Paley at Pilates Retreat Asia, who will be showing us around the beautiful country.  It's so exciting see how far the project has come.  It's even more exciting to watch the rough cut so far.  

 Marguerite Ogle at Pilates.about.com interviewed me a short time ago and the article was just published!  Check it out!  It captures the essence of the film so well.  It also tells more about the progress, goals, and people behind the Movement!

It’s been a great few weeks getting acclimated to our temporary home in Germany.  The editing is well underway, and the footage is beginning to share its story.  The massive task of transcribing all of the interviews is complete, and now I’m actually piecing the film together.  Although it’s exciting to be at this stage, there is still a long road of editing, shooting, and reediting to come.  The nice thing now is that I have hours and hours of incredible footage and interviews to keep the project inspired through the long days and nights spend at the computer. 

Other than editing we’re still filming at a few more locations.  Our next stop is in Paris in two weeks. 

À la prochaine!

We've made it to Europe where the editing has begun!  The latest news is on the soundtrack for the film.  During the filming process we captured a lot of audio from various places in Pilates studios.  We're taking this audio and incorporating it into the musical score for the film.  The goal is to create a hybrid soundtrack that uses voices, music, and effects.  It's very time consuming, so we've only been able to see the tip of the iceberg, but from what we've made, it is awesome!  We can't wait to get more of it done and start combining the sound with the images.  

The official poster for A Movement of Movement is on its way to the printing press!  We've been taking input from a number of designers and Pilates people, and it's finally done. For those who contributed $100 or more to the funding campaign, you can expect your 24" x 35" poster to arrive in January.  If anyone else is interested in purchasing a poster for your home or studio, let us know!  We will be adding a shopping section to the website with postcards, prints, posters, and eventually the film, A Movement of Movement.


It's been snowing in Wyoming, but the heat from my editing suite has been keeping me toasty warm!  Carrie and I would like to wish everyone a happy holidays!
