Summary:
Jenny, an LDS girl from Utah, begins NYU's dance program. In New York she makes friends with an LDS film student and falls in love with a decidedly non-LDS musician. Eventually she is faced with the choice of whether to follow her infatuation or marry within the faith.
From the cover: "Produced by Cary Derbidge and directed by Ryan Little, Out of Step, "one of this year's best films (4 stars Temple Square.com)", is coming to your home after a smashing theater debut. Starring Michael Buster (God's Army) as the good LDS guy, Jeremy Elliot (Charly, The Testaments), as the eye-candy non-LDS guy, and introducing Allison Akin Clark as the young, talented LDS Girl from Utah who goes to New York to become a professional dancer. She has her challenges both in obtaining the scholarship she needs and in every aspect of her values and testimony. A coming of age story ("The Mormon Flash Dance" Deseret News) and a must see for all families, young adults and teens."
Annotations:
This is Ryan Little's first theatrical feature film, preceding the much more successful Saints and Soldiers. It was released near the 2002 Winter Olympics head-to-head against The Singles Ward, and hence was quickly withdrawn, to be put out again a few months later. Some exteriors were shot in New York, but others and all the interiors were shot in Utah.
Quotes:
One dream, two guys, eternal possibilities.
