Better Than Perfect

Eve, a gifted young dancer, joins the world’s best hip hop dance crew, to the chagrin of her mother who makes it explicitly known she does not support her. Eve moves into a new room in a new city to dance with the crew, but as the days wear on the pressures of the crew and her exacting choreographer twist her joy into mechanical survival. After a series of nightmares, Eve considers suicide, before finally reaching out to her estranged Mom and choosing to leave the crew so as to pursue her own truth joyfully, and dance to the beat of her own internal drum.
