Realist Pictures presents their pitch

A shy teenage girl is pursuing her parents dream to become a ballet dancer for the London's Royal Academy. She is beginning to feel the pressure of her professional dancing lifestyle and the idea of disappointing her family and turns to performance enhancing drugs to cope with the high expectations her parents and coaches have over her.

She is battling against what she is and what she views her imperfections to be and what she thinks a perfect ballerina is. Major consequences follow as she fights to cope with her addiction and the stress of balancing dance with the rest of her life. Chrissy reaches breaking point in the middle of the most important performance of her life. 

She takes a drastic fall during her live performance, symbolizing her cry for help the story reveals her shy and secretive personality. However her parents who really want the best for their daughter and care deeply for her notice her struggle and suggest she attends a support group with other dancers who suffer from stress or balancing education and dance. 

When Chrissy attends for the first time we are introduced to Christian who has found relaxation in contemporary ballet as a way of dealing with his bipolar disorder. They very quickly become friends and they very quickly begin to question whether there is more to their relationship than just a friendship.

However as their relationship grows Chrissy tries to move away from Christian when one day he loses his temper and hits her.

When they get the roles for the a royal performance, they have to work together in order to learn the routine and help each other keep up with their end of year exams. Slowly rebuilding their relationships they help each other deal with their struggles and overcome their stresses.

We plan to using a cyclical narrative so the story begins where it all ends.
