Exit 12

Client — Square

Like many veterans, US Marine Roman Baca wasn’t the same when he returned home from war. He served in Fallujah, Iraq from 2005 to 2006. His experience ravaged him with depression, anxiety, and anger issues. With the encouragement of his wife, Lisa, Roman decided to return to his formal dance training as way to cope. He found that dance helped him “reprogram” his mind and body. This led Roman to start Exit 12 — a New York based dance company that tells stories of war through dance and choreography. Exit 12 also hosts workshops that give veterans and military families a way to confront the effects of war and share their experience.

This is the 5th film in the "For Every Dream" series developed with Square — a series that explores America through the lens of small business in unexpected communities.
