Sunny Dancer
Synopsis
Hanging out with mates, partying hard, losing your virginity… That’s how most teenage girls spend their last summer before turning 18.
But not Ivy.
Her lovingly overbearing parents have other plans: four weeks at Children Run Free Camp, a camp for young adults affected by cancer. A quick Google search confirms her fears with a shitty promo trailer - sunsets, crossfades, everything iMovie can vomit up. As if beating cancer wasn’t enough, now she has to go to summer camp.
But ‘Chemo camp’ turns out to be more inspiring than expected. She meets like-minded misfits who just want to ‘fuck shit up’ and live life to the fullest - snorting prescription drugs, downing vodka, skinny dipping... and maybe even falling in love.
Sunny Dancer is a coming-of-age comedy-romance celebrating love, friendship, and challenging adversity: feeling most alive whilst the world has other plans.
