Episode 35 – 'Girl Walk // All Day' w/ dir. Jacob Krupnick - a podcast by Phi Phenonenon

When Girl Talk’s album All Day came out in 2010, filmmaker Jacob Krupnick had no connection with the mashup artist. So it took a leap of inspiration to assume that within a year his $20k-budgeted accompaniment to that album would not only be on of the century’s greatest musicals and dance films, but also end up on IndieWire’s “100 Best Movies of the Decade” list for the 2010s. On today’s episode, we talk how the movie came together more from a place a pop music and dance than film history, the inspiredly fluid improv choreography of its endlessly charming star Anne Marsen, its sense of “outbreak,” the film’s sense of inspired and bravura amateurishness, and how that DIY handmade feel comes across in a “media missing” Final Cut clip that remains in the film’s highest resolution export.

Girl Walk // All Day is available for free on its website either in the entirety, or on YouTube or Vimeo in chapters.

Jacob Krupnick is a filmmaker based out of Brooklyn working on his second feature and various other projects.
