Against the stunning backdrop of the Taos Mesa, this poignant film explores the convergence of movement, nature, and philosophy, prompting viewers to reflect on life's fundamental questions.

In Elegy, audiences are introduced to Zak Ryan Schlegel, a choreographer who brings his own unique perspective to the film. A native New Mexican of Mestizo Mexican, Apache, and German descent, Schlegel's work is deeply informed by his diverse heritage and his commitment to cultural exchange and integration. His mission, which spans fine art and commercial projects, is to foster a sense of belonging across cultural boundaries.
