“The Mouse” is a reflection of the deep longing to be seen.

I’ve been dancing since the age of three and have lived the pressure to be flawless - pushing beyond limits just to earn approval. At its core, this film explores the complex and often painful dynamic between a broken ballerina and her ruthless mentor, where admiration, ambition, and emotional abuse become dangerously entangled.

Set within the magical world of ‘The Nutcracker’, the film contrasts a dreamy, pink-tinted reality with the cold, harsh environment beneath it - a place where your deepest fears can come to life.

Blending drama, music, and dance, this is a deeply personal film about the mouse in the background - grappling with loss of identity, cultural displacement, and the thin line between ambition and obsession.

I want to tell a story that reminds people they don’t need to change themselves to be worthy. True fulfillment doesn’t come from meeting others expectations - but from within.
