As for books, one of my mentors, Amy Sigil, told me to read a book called 'Failimg Forward' by John C. Maxwell, which helped me tremendously.

Dance-wise, Zoe Jakes and Jill Parker were the reason I fell back in love with dance - check them out on YouTube. Honestly, every artist who has been a part of my films is amazing. I choose to only work with people I love and who express an extreme desire to be a part of the project.

CG: Thank you for spending the time with us. I'm sure our readers would love to view your work. Might you provide your website and some video links for them to do so?

JF: Hell Yes!

The first film in Triptych: Dust, Blood and Water, *Dust*

Behind the Scenes of *Blood*

Jennifer Faust began dancing at the tender age of four and was dancing professionally as a ballerina at age 17 at Marin Ballet and Dance Theatre Seven. Currently, Faust is a member of Zoe Jake's Dance Company, Coven, Arcana and more. Faust has also been a guest dancer with Kami Liddle's Gold Star Dance Company and has collaborated with many amzing bay area and international performers.

In addition to working as an oncology nurse, Faust is the executive producer and president of Faust productions' project 'Triptych: Dust, Blood and Water' (bringing awareness to cancer patients, those that care for them and cancer research through art) starring many pioneers in the tribal fusion bellydance movement.

No matter what she is doing, she is never in one place for very long as Faust is dancing, training, choreographing, and dreaming of new projects that will push the boundaries of dance and film and movement to places unexplored. Official Website: http://www.triptychjourneythroughcancer.org/
