I knew I wanted a classically trained dancer for Open Highway Headstart. It was not an obvious choice for the music but the band took a leap of faith. Nathaniel (Hunt) is an Alvin Ailey trained dancer. He has amazingly expressive body language, and switches from classical to contemporary to freestyle with such grace and ease. We hired a studio in Brooklyn and worked on themes we would bring into the film. The story follows an addict who tries to escape his addictions but keeps coming up against himself. Nate embodies and expresses the character fully through dance. The euphoria, the descent, the despair. He gave an amazing performance, becoming one with the desert and the sun beating down on him.
