The Evil Queen watches the game commence, a storm of swords between two lovers. Who will win? Good or Evil? A Game of Thrones inspired fencing "Water Dance."
The Evil Queen is played by no other than AMAZON ASHLEY. She is a 6-foot-7 dancer who is best known for touring with Miley Cyrus, and being the world's tallest burlesque dancer.
The sport of fencing was a huge inspiration for this video and inspired many aspects of the videos costume design, choreography, production design, and cinematography. Los Angeles based director KAROLYN SZOT grew up a nationally ranked fencer Szot always knew she wanted to showcase the art of fencing in an artistic and edgy way. Szot recruited her former Northwestern University teammate and NCAA Fencing All-American, SAMANTHA NEMECEK and 2012 Olympian, DORIS WILLETTE to portray the vengeful battle.
Szot brought on the extremely talented JONATHAN MICHAEL MAHONEY, a Los Angeles based cinematographer. "Mahoney has a very creative eye for capturing unique moments. He definitely enhanced the grimy and edgy vision I wanted to portray," said Szot. His cinematographic work has been seen in festivals around the world from Guam to Cannes.
