TIMELESS LOVE is a Dance short film by Breton Tyner-Bryan. The story is about a man who surrenders to his love for a woman, who becomes his inspiration for stepping into his heart and loving freely. The man's energy is initially inward, expressing an internal emotional wound. His vast home represents his feelings of isolation and emptiness. The moment the woman appears, he begins to open up physically and emotionally until he finally finds freedom in his expression of love through dance. This style of dance is based on the traditional Viennese Waltz but expressed in the ballroom style of American Smooth dancing. It is a style of dance that alternates between lead-follow roles, with both partners leading occasionally. Characters dance in a Chateau ballroom, embodying life's timeless love through dance. It's a very well chosen location, an isolated villa with a beautiful garden, that represents the loneliness of the protagonist without the woman. In a time when everything is screaming, TIMELESS LOVE tells this story in a very intimate way. This short film can be described as having an old-fashioned mood, which is so important to preserve. Travis Tuft (World & National Ballroom Theatrical/Cabaret Champion, American Smooth Showdance Champion, American Smooth Ballroom Finalist, Blackpool Championship Silver Medalist) directs this superb choreography. Dominick Sivilli's cinematography tells this story through the colors of the feelings. The editing is fluid and delicate, following the rhythm of the music by Breton Tyner-Bryan. As the frames roll by, the editing disappears behind them. It is a truly engaging pace. Similarly, the costume choice fits the narrative of the dance short. There is a great deal of intensity and believable acting throughout the film from both actors. As a result of combining all of the elements we mentioned, we are able to build a dreamlike atmosphere as well as a story of intense love with a taste of ancient times. Through this dance short film called TIMELESS LOVE, we can still dream about being passionate like the main character. As the director explained: "Timeless Love shows how love is used as a universal tool to reconnect once failed relationships.". Due to the suspended belief in time, we are able to observe the interchanging power plays between the two lead characters, culminating in an equal union through dance." This is a very well-made short film directed by Breton Tyner-Bryan.
