MOMENTUM

For Patrick, a tortilla chip started his moment of self-discovery. With exuberant dancing and magical passion he shares his inspiration and invites everyone to participate. Even his mother.
"Momentum" explores the concept of spontaneous authenticity and the synopsis of body and soul... through tortilla chips and dance.
