Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity

I filmed the New York / New England interviews for this three part series.

“Zero Gravity is an intimate portrait and cinematic ode to Jazz giant Wayne Shorter's life and music. Depicted in three parts, each representing a different period of Shorter's life and music. Shorter is considered one of the greatest living modern composers and musicians of American music.”

“In Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity, director Dorsay Alavi tells his story over three roughly hourlong episodes called “portals,” a fitting nod to the Buddhism that Shorter embraced and the sci-fi and fantasy he adored. The Prime Video docuseries — which takes its streaming bow Aug. 25, on what would have been Shorter’s 90th birthday — traces the chronology of the New Jersey native’s biography, but, much more than that, it’s a chronicle of emotion, creativity and faith, tuned in to the magnitude of Shorter’s musicianship and, no less, to his playfulness and searching nonconformity.”
