"Eileen Kramer celebrates her 109th birthday next week. Eileen has always made it clear that she focuses less on her age and more on her art form. This I believe is what gives her an unmatched vitality. She has traveled the globe with her dance and remarks that Louis Armstrong taught her to waltz in Paris.  Like a fine wine, the footage that we captured a few years ago has, at last, found a home in the short motion piece 'Dancer in Love'. I have always enjoyed visiting Eileen to drink tea and talk about her life and upcoming projects. I enjoy sitting in the foyer of her residence observing her wit and charm light up the room. She is someone who always looks forward to her next creation.

I visited her to share the ungraded cut of 'Dancer In Love'. She remarked, 'the lighting is beautiful, but I have never liked my profile'. I suggested that I visit her the week after to share the final edit. I loved that she told me, 'this may not be possible next week as I am in the middle of rehearsals for my next production'. 

Dance on Eileen."
