2011 – Concept for creating dance film shorts, portraits on screen, began by MWDCC0 in 2010 where the film making team collaborates with a selected artist (dancer/performance artist/others) to create a personal portrait (movement, language, life view, other). The initial goal was to have more than one filmmaker create a portrait combining dance and media using the same video sources of dance.  These dance video shorts, companion pieces, would be exhibited in a gallery or museum or online as “companion portraits.” that would result in dance video shorts, companion pieces, to be exhibited in a gallery or museum or online as companion portraits.

A subsidiary organization of MWDCCo – Where Where IS Productions! was established for the purpose of creating films and other new media project and continues.
