OUR MISSION
Christina Morales Hemenway founded Dancingstar in 1992, upon graduating from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), with the mission of creating enlightening and uplifting films. At DANCINGSTAR, we have a more holistic approach to filmmaking than the traditional Hollywood system. With Dancingstar, one may enter Dancingstar Creative Academy as a student, and then through hands-on training with Dancingstar Productions, work their way to being a Producer that earns an income from teaching online with Dancingstar. They will also have the opportunity to be represented by Dancingstar Marketing, and to showcase their projects with Dancingstar Distribution .
