    Standing Ovation at the Milwaukee Film Festival - 2023

    Call Me Dancer is magical and full of surprises. Manish, the dancer, is a genuine and charismatic star. His story is of someone having a dream, taking their shot, and maneuvering the highs & lows with grace. This taut 84 minute film was rich with universal humanity, centered on a hero's journey that made the audience feel all the feels. First time director Shampaine - a dancer herself - has directed a minor miracle that moves with the power of authenticity. The audience couldn't help but stand, applaud, and let out a few bravos. Manish QnA ruled! We could use more movies like this. Best of Fest.
