For our final episode of season 1, we sit down with Tajana Tokyo. A visionary director who first toured the world as a dancer for iconic performers including Beyoncé and Janelle Monáe before turning her hand to directing.
Her work is characterised by enthralling rhythm and movement, working with brands such as Apple, Amazon, Magners and Coppafeel! to create engaging, movement-led films.
We spoke with Tajana about how music is the very first ingredient she considers, about landing the perfect cast that can move in the way she envisions, and communicating the visceral language of music and movement through her films. We are truly inspired by her personality and approach.
