My name is Katie Fox and I am an independent filmmaker in the Pacific Northwest. My next project is a contemporary dance short film inspired by the love story of Hamlet and Ophelia. Set in a stark, industrial world of cool blues and greens, the film uses intimate partnering and haunting music by CocoRosie and Antony and the Johnsons to explore love, loss, and emotional fracture.

This is not a traditional adaptation. It is a sensory experience — a collision of classical literature, contemporary dance, and stark cinematic design — created to feel immediate, uncomfortable, and deeply intimate. At its heart, the film asks: What happens when love exists inside a world that cannot sustain it?

By supporting this project, you’re helping bring a bold, physically driven piece of storytelling to life — one that honors Shakespeare’s emotional truth while reimagining it through movement, music, and modern cinematic language.
