Exclusive: Alberto Belli (The House Of Flowers) has been set to direct Latinx dance movie The Way You Move, which Tamara Nagahiro of Grandave International is selling at the Cannes virtual market.
The movie follows an inner-city teenager who gets in trouble at school and is forced to serve detention in the ballroom dance club.
