  • Gerald Busby + Jordan Alport

    Gerald Busby, looking serious, with mohawk

    Dropsquad Desedo director Jordan Alport is now collaborating with classical composer Gerald Busby on a series of 3 original short films. They worked together to divine the theme of Impermanence, JA created some parameters, GBus wrote the music and now JA will direct in response. Like tango dancers, they are.

    Gerald has worked with Robert Altman, Paul Taylor and often collaborates with writer/director Craig Lucas. And he described our Valentine’s Party as “very Kansas City Whorehouse.” So you know we’re flattered he’s rolling with the elephant.
