Plot

It's about an 11-year-old boy who overcomes some of life's trials to experience hope in his life.

100-degree heat. 2-man crew. 4-day shoot. 1-man cast.

Shot on location in a remote village in India, The Dancer is the true story of Kengava Satish Kumar, a young orphan living in rural Andhra Pradesh.

All dialogue was based solely on interviews with Satish, who speaks only Telugu, and direction was given through a translator. With only two days of planning and four days of shooting – and despite the communication barrier – a connection was made during production that transcends language and inspired everyone involved in this whirlwind project.
