Produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birthday, The Flying Machine takes the eternally fascinating and affecting Études, and crafts a celebration of the role that music and dance play in our lives, especially in our first pre-teen steps into the adult world. The film stars pianist Lang Lang and Heather Graham, (with almost the entire score performed by Lang Lang!) Shot in stereoscopic 3-D, the movie blends live-action and stop-motion together. The Flying Machine is crafted for a multi-platform world with a feature film, about 25 independent short films (one for each of Chopin’s étude), an online game, live show and CD all to be released over the course of this year.
