Finding Carlos

The Nutcracker ballet meets hip-hop in this new film directed by Lance McDaniel. Finding Carlos is an adaptation of RACE (Radical Application of Creative Energy) dance collective's Hip Hop Nutcracker, co-produced with RACE founder Hui Cha Poos and co-written by Oklahoma Contemporary trustee Melissa Scaramucci. The film version gives fans of the story another way to enjoy dance on film while live performances are on hold. A contemporary twist follows the life of Carlos (played by Classen School of Advanced Studies student Maximus White), a young man searching for purpose and family.
