Make It Happen
Lauryn (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is a young woman from a small town in Indiana who dreams of making it big as a dancer.
Following the sudden death of her parents, she puts her ambitions on hold to help her brother Joel (John Reardon) keep the family’s auto-shop open.
When her routine fails to impress at a long-awaited audition with the Chicago School of Music & Dance, Lauryn is dejected.
Unable to face Joel and her spirit broken, she decides to stay in Chicago. She moves in with a dancer friend of hers who manages to get her a bookkeeping job in a local burlesque club.
One night when the club is closed, Lauryn turns on the music and begins to dance. Alone and uninhibited, she at last feels free.
However, it turns out that stumbling across the scene accidentally is the club’s DJ Russ (Riley Smith), himself no stranger to unfulfilled dreams.
When one of the dancing girls leaves, Russ reveals to the club owner Brenda (Karen LeBlanc) that Lauryn has the moves. Much to her annoyance at first, it seems that Lauryn might just be thrust into the limelight after all.
Make It Happen is released on DVD 29th December
