Director Ben Kadie’s latest short film Ahead, Behind, made in collaboration with Jordan Johnson and Aidan Carberry Aka dance duo Ja Collective, is a trippy dance video about two men standing in an infinite queue. Inspired by the multi-camera work of Naren Wilks, Kadie utilises Ja Collectives’ loose, connective and intense movements for his own spin on the visually dazzling format. It’s a marvel to look at but a proper head-scratcher when it comes to understanding how they went about achieving it from a technical standpoint. Fortunately, Kadie and Ja Collective join us below for the online Premiere of Ahead, Behind where the trio go in-depth on everything from the adaptive choreography and creation of gestures to mimic the video’s crazy visual nature to the extensive process of using rehearsal footage to lay the groundwork for the challenge of production.

Waylon Bacon is going home again. Bacon, a graduate of Albany High School, will be showing his latest demented masterpiece, Help Wanted, and participating in a post-screening Q&A at the 2nd annual Albany Film Festival, which takes place on March 3.
Help Wanted is a horror comedy about the world’s worst job: Processing the dead victims of hit men and other hired killers. It’s a sick, twisted and absolutely hilarious epic short film. Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film reviewed it back in 2010, calling it “funny and frightening.”
Joining Bacon on-stage will be filmmaker Hoku Uchiyama, another Albany High grad, with his own short film, Rose, a rural American ghost story.
The Albany Film Festival is screening primarily short films from Noon to 8:00 p.m., kicking things off with the absolutely charming The Squash by Bobby Young.
However, there will be two special feature films on hand.
