TORONTO, Ont. (July 11, 2016) – The worlds of classical dance and modern hip-hop music collide in the inspirational drama HIGH STRUNG, on DVD August 2, 2016 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Canada. Real-life ballet star Keenan Kampa (Russia’s world-famous Mariinsky Ballet) gives a breakout lead performance as a young dancer who partners up with a subway violinist, played by Nicholas Galitzine (Handsome Devil, The Beat Beneath My Feet), to enter a life-changing performing arts competition. Featuring high-energy dance sequences from famed choreographer Dave Scott (TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” Step Up 3D), and co-starring Golden Globe® winner Jane Seymour (TV’s “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” Wedding Crashers), Sonoya Mizuno (upcoming La La Land,Ex Machina), Paul Freeman (Hot Fuzz, Raiders of the Lost Ark), and dancer/choreographer and YouTube sensation Ian Eastwood (Breaking Through), this exhilarating, family-friendly dance movie was released by The Orchard digitally and on demand earlier this year.
Synopsis: Ruby Adams (Kampa) is a dancer from the Midwest on scholarship, living her first day in New York City. Johnnie Blackwell (Galitzine) is a British musician playing for money in the subway tunnels. Ruby’s world is classical and disciplined; Johnnie’s is improvisational and street smart. When a hip-hop battle gone wrong throws these two artists together, they immediately clash but can’t deny it when sparks begin to fly. Their lives quickly get entangled in the pitfalls that come with competing in New York City. With the help of a dynamic dance crew called The SwitchSteps, Ruby and Johnnie must find a way to save Ruby’s scholarship and keep Johnnie from being deported. In an action-packed extravaganza combining cutting edge hip-hop with contemporary and classical dance, the two must navigate their opposing worlds and prepare for a competition where winning or losing will change their lives forever.
HIGH STRUNG was directed by Michael Damian (Flicka: Country Pride, Marley & Me: The Puppy Years) and co-written by Janeen Damian (A Royal Christmas, Marley & Me: The Puppy Years) & Michael Damian. It was produced by Michael Damian and Janeen Damian. Executive producers are JoJami Tyler, Eric Tyler and Alex Walton.
