SUNNY DANCER is a deeply personal and profanely funny romantic comedy-drama for young adults about wanting to fit in when the world has had other plans for you.

Hanging out with mates and partying hard… that’s how most teenage girls get to spend their last summer before turning 18. But not Ivy. As if conquering cancer wasn’t hard enough, Ivy’s lovingly overbearing parents have signed her up to spend the summer at what she less-than-endearingly calls “chemo camp”.

Going to the camp against her will, Ivy ends up having a summer she will never forget - finding love and meeting a group of similarly-minded misfits who just want to live life to the fullest.

Because SUNNY DANCER isn’t really about illness - it’s about what happens after.

It’s about being 17 and weird and brilliant.

It’s about surviving and then having to actually live.
