 A short film commemorating the 85th anniversary of Irving Berlin’s 1935 movie musical TOP HAT and tributing the iconic work of Astaire and Rogers. A partnership with Concord Theatricals, CLI Studios and The Irving Berlin Music Company, the film features two women (roommates Courtney Crain and Jordan Betscher) dancing in the shelter of a New York City tunnel; young artists facing an uncertain future but unwilling to let anything get in the way of their pure joy of movement.
