- Exposes the physical and psychological dangers of the ballet world on young girls and the role dance teachers play in it.
- In the summer of 2008, actress/singer/dancer, Stacey Sargeant found herself in rehearsals for a show, right across the street from the very place where the foundations of her dreams and body-image issues were planted, Carnegie Hall. She was in New York City Center's production of Damn Yankees, in which she was in the dance ensemble. Having been discouraged from pursuing a career in the performing arts because she did not possess the 'ideal' body type, Stacey laughed at the irony of where she was literally and figuratively. In that moment, she knew she had to create a way to share her inspiring story with young girls wishing to pursue careers in the performing arts. As a result, the self-produced short documentary film, Though I'm Not Perfect, was born.
