"Theo emerges on set for the last shoot of the day, after several hours vigorously directing the LOVE hair and make- up team to do exactly what he wants. He asks for Jennifer Holliday performing ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’ from Dreamgirls to be played at top volume, and launches into a full performance. Arms held aloft, grief- stricken expression on his face, he mouths the words to Ezra, the photographer. A lot of very tired people watch transfixed and break into applause, whooping as he finishes. Film or stage, this is what Theo’s work is about, drawing you into a place of abandon, and raw emotion, and really loud music. His films are simply a continuation of his performances, but instead of a moment for a room full of people, it’s meant to be a shout heard round the world. "
