"Mimi and her dancers captivate us with this new experimental dance work. Movements of great beauty and complexity that fill the screen together with perfect animated backgrounds. An absolute symphony that overflows with sensations in the spectator. Very striking and empathetic chromatic choice, reinforcing the experience. Authentic art!" - Super Short Film Festival (Through Ashes We Rise, Winner of Best Dance)
"The director of "THSR" Second Version, Mimi Garrard brings forth a film that is so exquisite and beautiful, revolutionizing dance and everything mainstream about it. Mimi Garrard's film on digitized dance is revolutionary and experimental in nature. Taking on a new approach to dance, Mimi showcases her creativity and her openness to embrace striking, poignant solos with intense expression and artful, demonstrative movements. It speaks of an existence that can no longer be found in the real world." - Provesha Pyne (Cult Critic/ Films of the Month)
