Backstage
Backstage in a small club, Michael says hello the way he lives: eight times down, nine times up.
Michael walks out of the backstage corridor of a small club, cap pushed back, coloured stage lights glowing behind him. He looks straight into the camera. “Backstage, small club, big dream,” he says. “Eight times down… nine times up. Capisce?” Then the smile, the warm one he keeps for people who are about to be proven wrong.
