About Leopoldo Joe Nakata
Leopoldo Joe Nakata is a solo AI filmmaker. His short The First Dance was made entirely by him alone — and made in a single week.
At his own wedding reception, an anxious groom hides beneath a table — only to discover an eight-year-old girl hiding there too. As they share what they’re afraid of, an unlikely friendship gives them both the courage to step back onto the dance floor. It is, in his film’s own words, a story “about love, fear, and finding someone willing to be afraid with you.”
Every part of the film is his own work: writing, visual development, generation, editing, sound design, music, colour and final delivery. Visually, he aimed for a contemporary documentary feel inspired by Dogme 95, with handheld smartphone-style cinematography.
