Today, we’re opening the Film Festival Radio archives to honor one of the true architects of modern music‑video choreography. With the renewed excitement surrounding the blockbuster Michael Jackson movie, it’s the perfect moment to revisit my classic conversation with the late, great Michael Peters—the visionary behind iconic movement in Thriller, Beat It, and so many more cultural touchstones. His influence shaped an entire generation of dancers and storytellers. Here now is a rare interview with the legendary Michael Peters.
