Independent Lens | WATER FLOWING TOGETHER

WATER FLOWING TOGETHER offers an intimate portrait of a remarkable dancer, Jock Soto, who retired from the New York City Ballet at age 40, after a 24-year career. Soto's journey as an openly gay man of Navajo Indian and Puerto Rican descent provides a rare glimpse into the life of a dancer and the disparate worlds which have shaped this important artist.

Jock is my hero. I'm sorry to hear about the problems behind the film that you describe, johnnyandthumper (I'm in the film business and i can relate - you see that kind of thing all the time). I must say that as a fan, i'm still glad that the film exists, as the world deserves to know more about this wonderful artist.

This idea came from N. Cokas & M. Albanese.  Nicholas met Jock and suggested they make a film based on his remarkable life. They developed the project for two years with Jock, spending money, time & heart devoted to the integrity of Jock's story. THEY hired Gwendolon to direct the film. She manipulated the project. I know this for a fact as I was their assistant. She calls herself an artist, but an artist who steals from other artists is nothing more than a common, opportunistic thief.

Fascinating, Jock you exemplify 'walking in beauty' very well. Wonderful performance!
