My Michael Jackson video makes it to British Film Institute top online videos for 2009

A critic and curator poll for the British Film Institute picked my video Bob Fosse Michael Jackson Pas de Deux as one of the top online videos of 2009. View the article here.

Critic Armond White of New York Press USA and author of Keep Moving: the Michael Jackson Chronicles wrote:

(The YouTube clip)intercuts Fosse’s little-known solo dance from The Little Prince with Jackson’s famous moonwalk performance of ‘Billie Jean’. This perfect synchronization links Fosse’s representation of Hollywood’s glorious movie musical tradition to a pop music titan who was also a great student of cinema (Jackson paid conscious homage to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly). It’s tremendously moving because Hollywood shunned Michael Jackson during the peak of his pop career yet Jackson, astonishingly, took inspiration from and revived the movie musical aesthetic in his own music video innovations – all of them actually shot on film, not video.
