Director and photographer Jacob Krupnick was waiting for a spark to ignite a major creative project, and it came when he was listening to All Day, the 2010 album by mashup maestro Girl Talk. Krupnick’s debut feature, Girl Walk // All Day brilliantly utilizes the entirety of the album, using it as both soundtrack and inspiration for an epic, feature-length music video, the story of a young dancer (Anne Marsen) who escapes for the day to New York City, turning the great metropolis into one big, ever-moving stage. Along the way, she regularly crosses paths with both The Creep (John Doyle), a weirdo in skeleton sweats, and his courteous counterpart, The Gentleman (Dai Omiya).
Since premiering in Brooklyn almost a year ago, Girl Walk //All Day has had screenings all over the country (as well as internationally) that have become legendary for becoming mass dance parties, as the entire audience gets...

Dance Dance Revelation: Krupnick’s Own Jubilant Mashup
In 2010, the one man remix act Girl Talk released his latest mashup record, All Day, in which he draws from the entire back catalog of pop music, from The Rolling Stones to Lil’ Wayne, patching bits and pieces from whatever fits to craft fully formed, completely danceable tracks, disregarding countless copyright infringements along the way. Girl Walk // All Day is director Jacob Krupnick’s full length feature/extended music video that uses All Day as a musical backdrop. Much like the musical concoctions that set the aural stage, the film is an amalgamation of vérité street performances, improvised dance segments, and choreographed numbers all (very) loosely woven around the story of The Girl (Anne Marsen), The Gentleman (Dai Omiya) and The Creep (John Doyle).
Nimbly navigating the streets of New York with a myriad of spins, wispy arm movements and an ever present smile,...

Look, I'm in my early forties. I listen to out of date, untrendy music. I had no idea who or what Girl Talk was, much less what it had to do with the movie Girl Walk // All Day. What I knew was that a lot of my SXSW filmgoing friends were raving about this dance-a-rific musical film, everyone was talking about getting out of their theater seats and dancing around, and the movie was playing at Alamo Drafthouse Village on a night when I didn't want to go downtown. From such unlikely beginnings are great SXSW moviegoing experiences made.
At its essence, Girl Walk // All Day is a feature-length music video/dance performance, but that's terribly reductive and misleading. The movie is set to the music of Girl Talk's 2010 album All Day -- if you haven't heard it, it consists of 372 samples of existing songs by other artists, which...
