About the Film
A documentary about love — told slowly.
The Beat of a Slow Dance is a feature documentary exploring love through the intersecting languages of melody, movement, and metaphor. Directed by Nailah Rae and produced under Slow Dance Media Group LLC, it is a film for everyone who has ever stood still in the middle of a slow song and felt, for just a moment, that everything made sense.
