A: No! We are open for anyone and everyone as long as you can commute to Lexington, KY easily. The project is produced by the Creativity Club at the University of Kentucky, which is why we are posting the updates on our existing website!

A: We are planning to schedule most of the filming and rehearsal dates closer to the weekends. As soon as we have the cast, we will set up schedule for everyone. For the first few rehearsals, we would like to have everyone so that everyone can see the context of the film overall. But we promise that we won't take up that much time from your regular daily activities!

A: Absolutely! We need people from the age of 6 up to 70s, since the film's story involves three to four stages of life in the main character! So, don't be afraid to sign up for the audition :)

A: We can't really provide any references or comparisons. We haven't really seen many movies that deal with piano music and dance/movements that tell stories primarily other than the Step Up series, but this film wouldn't be any similar to the Step Up series.
