GAMUT is a sci-fi experimental dance film by Bret Easterling that explores the full spectrum of color, movement, and transformation through the discovery of a magical synthesized light-being of the same name from the star Sirius. Inspired by placing lighting gels over the lens of the camera and created in a living room over seven days during quarantine as part of Rosanna Gamson/World Wide's Decameron Residency, the film serves as a container for exploring range, transformation, and the expansive possibilities of the universe.

MOVES WITH FRIENDS is a dance film by Bret Easterling that celebrates presence, connection, and the evolving choreography of friendship through a series of intimate unison duets. Adapted from a live performance work, the film is built from an open-ended structure in which each encounter inspires the next, creating an ever-expanding work with no true beginning or end.
TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END
In celebration of EICHTERLING, a creative partnership born out of the more than a decade long friendship and collaboration between dancers Julia Eichten and Bret Easterling, TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END is a poetic experiment about fate and inevitability that references an array of dance practices and choreographic legacies. A collection of vignettes, the film follows two beings in states of ongoing, radical transformation who sift through recognizable languages of dance and movement, tracing the sometimes forgotten or lost histories of dance. Shot in locations across Los Angeles including a farmhouse in Malibu, an industrial warehouse in the Arts District, and a laundromat in Westlake, the film explores the continuity of reciprocity and affection even as the boundaries between human and animal, real and virtual, and fact and fiction dissolve.
Produced by BEMOVING.
