A Tragic Loss

Dear fans and patrons for the films about Patrick Scully,

Our hearts go out to Robert Skafte, his family and friends. He was a wonderful dancer and human being who was killed last week working his job in Loring Park. I am so lucky to have gotten to know him while filming him as one of Patrick Scully's dancers in "Leaves of Grass-Illuminated". Robert brought so much beauty and wonder to this world through his life and performance. The world feels very sad and upside down.
🥲🥲🥲
I was recently watching a rough cut of the film and I cannot un-see how much Robert is in the film. Even though he is no longer is with us, I pledge to you all, his work and life energy will live in the documentaries of Patrick Scully.

Above, you can see some film stills from Robert's dancing in
"Leaves of Grass-Illuminated".

We have found one intern for this project since out our last update. Please Welcome Skylar Mihajlov! Skylar is working with our editor Dan as his assistant. I am open to one more intern, this additional intern would be assisting me in rights and clearances for supporting images in the film. if you are interested in documentary film or know someone who is, pls contact me.
