Circus Dreams is a feature-length documentary about a dynamic group of 12 to 18 year olds performing in Circus Smirkus, the only traveling youth circus in the country.

The movie immerses viewers into the circus world, revealing the intense work ethic, cooperative culture and magically mobile nature of circus life. By delving into the young performers’ obsession with these ancient arts, the documentary also explores, in a revealing and authentic way, how it feels to be an American teenager today.

Circus Dreams will be premiering at SPROCKETS Toronto International Film Festival for Children in April 2011 and will also screen at Sarasota Film Festival and the Boston International Film Festival!
