SYNOP:
BBE is about a girl, Schantel, that is scheduled to dance a solo in
the local dance company's performance. However, she is mugged,
beaten, and left for dead before she ever had the chance to perform.
Due to this unfortunate incident, Schantel is left with damage to her
optical nerve, becoming blind as a result. She just wants to curl up
and die, to be forgotten about... but her loving, caring, and
extremely supportive boyfriend, Kade, won't allow that. Kade takes
care of Schantel, giving her the strength to move on, to continue to
live and be her normal, wonderful self. Through his dedication and
passion, Schantel eventually goes back into dance, all-the-while
being blind. She works extremely hard and realises that she wants to
fight for her soul - to become the Schantel that she always was,
before the incident. After training with a very strict instructor,
Schantel finds herself ready for her big moment, Kade right there at
her side. She is going to dance the routine, that she was scheduled
to perform but never did, on stage while being BLIND!

All work is unpaid, and all who are cast will gain credit and
EXPOSURE... as this project will be submitted to the Sundance Film
Festival for 2008.
