The Nutcracker: A Director’s Perspective is a short documentary that follows two student directors as they mount their own ballet production of The Nutcracker.
Moving between rehearsal rooms, interview-segments, and backstage break rooms, the documentary offers an intimate look at the challenges of translating a beloved holiday classic into a student ballet production. As the directors balance artistic vision, logistical hurdles, and the pressures of leadership, the film reveals the often-unseen work that goes into putting on a performance.
