Summary
Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about turning their real-life father-daughter dynamic—and years spent in the competitive dance world—into the heartfelt indie film She Dances . Drawing from Audrey’s upbringing in dance competitions and layering in a quiet but powerful story of grief, the two discuss how the film became a deeply personal family affair, even featuring cameos from their own relatives. They get into the chaos and camaraderie of dance culture, the decision to avoid broad comedy in favor of something more honest, and how their new production company is helping champion this kind of storytelling. It’s also a look at indie filmmaking finding its footing again, with Kentucky as the backdrop, and how sometimes the most intimate stories hit the hardest.
