| Synopsis

Men Like You is a dramatic music video combining narrative and dance to create an emotional and thought-provoking experience.  A notorious Theater Producer (Damian Blake) has been verbally and sexually abusing the dancers of his latest musical. When he drops dead from a seeming heart attack, the dancers confront the Choreographer (Vanessa Davis), who consistently turned a blind eye to the Producer’s predatory behavior. Through dance, this leads to a moment of truth.

Composer/Screenwriter Brandon Phillips collaborated with Director Todd Norris and Choreographer Persi Mey to create a dynamic and powerful musical film that reflects a darker side of show business that unfortunately still exists.
