Tanu Muino Instagram – “MONCALVO” now on @films.dance • This film was created in June 2022 during one of the most challenging times in my life, immediately following a battle with stage 4 cancer.
I have deep respect and gratitude for all the artists who joined together to bring this work to life and helped me emerge from my darkest times, thank you. Your dedication and vulnerability have made this film what it is. To Layne, who stood beside me and embodied my pain through this work—thank you for helping turn the darkness into light.
This film is more than a reflection of my pain; it’s an invitation to confront the silent battles we all carry and to find healing. For me, dance has always been the light that breaks through the shadows. My hope is that this film offers a glimpse of that light to anyone facing their own darkness.
If you or someone you know is battling mental health challenges, you are not alone. Please reach out for help. In the U.S., you can call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, or visit 988lifeline.org for confidential support, 24/7. -Jacob Jonas
