WAVE RIDER (Online Only)

House music is widely recognized, but the culture and history behind it are often overlooked. Wave Rider follows legendary New York dancer Daniel “Future” Kelley III as he reflects on a lifetime within house dance culture. Through movement, teaching, and exchange with Edmonton dancer Sekou Sonko-Boisclair, Future reveals house as a conversation: a shared language shaped by rhythm, response, memory, and individual expression.

Dustin Chok is an Asian Canadian filmmaker based in Edmonton, Alberta. Rooted in the prairies and shaped by an ethnographic approach, his work grows out of long term relationships with the people and communities he films. He is interested in stories of identity, movement, memory, and belonging, and in the quiet emotional truths found in everyday life. Across documentary and dance film, his practice is guided by trust, immersion, and a belief that strong storytelling begins with real connection.
