About
In Chase Your Dreams a little dancer is led by the fluttering allure of her childhood dream, she embarks on a life-spanning choreography of pursuit. Moving one beat ahead of the rhythm, she must fight through a gauntlet of detours threatening to derail her from her ultimate goal.
In this visually inventive, kinetic odyssey, a protagonist’s definitive years are compressed into a singular, high-stakes choreography. The story kicks off in the innocence of youth when a childhood wish is suddenly sparked, instantly launching our main character into a relentless, life-defining pursuit. As she grows from a young girl into a young adult, the world dynamically morphs around her. She is locked in a literal, breathless race after her "dream" — which is beautifully manifested as a fantastical spirited creature.
Synchronized to the rhythmic pulse of a choreographed sprint, the years blur past, in a beautifully orchestrated chase sequence.
The breathtaking moment her childhood wish finally transforms into a reality, proving that the distance between a child's dream and a lifelong career is often just one long, determined dance.
