Help Us Tell Oscar's Story: Danseur

Hi, I'm Amy and I'm the producer of Danseur - an upcoming short documentary about the boy's ballet scene in Belfast, namely one boy in particular: Oscar Hunter.

All five of us are students at Queen's University and along with our director: Susie Loane, our editor: David King, our cinematographer: Yongcuo DaiQing and Eimear Reavey: our location manager and production designer, we want to bring Oscar's story to the screen in hopes that it will help to inspire other young people that may be too scared to follow their passion

Our documentary follows follow Oscar's journey as he manages the demands of his education, his social life, and the competitive realm of ballet, after having hidden his passion from his parents and friends for a long time. We will explore how the backdrop of prevailing societal expectations and entrenched notions of masculinity in Ireland, has affected Oscar. It's all defintely challenging terrain at just 17 years old.
