Henry Graham + Jennifer Tisdale

The Artistic Producers of the IEM collective, Henry Graham and Jennifer Tisdale, want people to feel transported through time and space through this original and integrated performing art digital film work.  Through shapes and movement thanks to our partners in the professional and international dance world of performance artists, we are able to rely on dance technique in its purest form of athletic beauty and artistry to be filmed and photographed as final visual art pieces.  The collections are fashion and film inspired to fuse various art genres on one medium.  Dance is art. Fashion is art. Film is art. It is breathtaking to see it displayed in an integrated form as photographic art, video art and with performance and digital art installations.   We are thankful for this journey as Cinematic Artists.

Henry Graham’s vision as as artist is first and foremost to integrate participants, audience members and artists into his process to choreograph live performances and capture digital art pieces.  He is an observer of life and the dynamics of human behavior which he brings to life when creating each piece.  The most influential background that steers his large landscape of art creation, is his background of being raised in the Los Angeles Foster Care system.  He embraces, acknowledges, owns it and uses it as a baseline for creating influential performance art that illustrates how he sees the world should be more integrated and allow children to create and be part of more inclusive and tolerant society.    It is also a medium for inspiration.  He wants all to strive to be achieve.  Henry received full scholarships to the dance programs of The Rock School, and the School of American Ballet.  He then attended The Ailey School on fellowship and was one of only 25 dancers invited by Artistic Director and Juilliard faculty member, Alexandra Wells, to participate in the Professional Project in 2005, a showcase of promising young talent from around the world. He performed in the Hollywood Bowl production of My Fair Lady and with Ms Debby Allen in the musical Brothers of The Knight. TV credits include: VH1 Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and NBC’s American Dreams. Film Credits include: A Time For Dancing.  These experiences influence how the right lighting, projection and cinematic effect is needed for our works.
