Few cinematographers-choreographers (Bob Fosse, Serge Lifar, Gene Kelly) have achieved such a vision. Even remarkable dancers with unsurpassed talent and creativity ever dared to embark on such a daring and ambitious journey. Cyd Charise and Fred Astaire, despite their legendary artistic genius refrained themselves  from choreographing their own dance sequences and numbers. But Isabel Rose and Cary went ahead with their genius and creativity and did it with grace, dynamism, nostalgic beauty and class. Rose co-wrote the screenplay. Cary told the media: "Isabel and I went to Yale together.  We performed in shows there and I also started directing at that time and ultimately directed her in a number of shows.  She was the lead in a number of musicals, as well as dramas and comedies, and after college we both went on to pursue acting professionally.  Somewhere along the line she began to write and I focused more on directing and when she came to me a few years ago to create something set in the cabaret world everything just clicked together.  Since then we’ve completed three more screenplays in addition to making ANYTHING BUT LOVE and have many more projects on deck.  It’s easy to collaborate with her since we have similar sensibility in terms of story and character and also share a strong sense of humor.  I think it also helps that we’re both actors; we take turns inhabiting a role as we create it.  Plus, she gets me out of bed to write every morning at 9AM when I want to sleep till eleven!"
