LipSync Sets Stage for ‘Desert Dancer’

LipSync will provide equity investment and post-production services for Desert Dancer, produced by Crossday Productions.

 

Desert Dancer tells the inspirational true story of Iranian dancer Afshin Ghaffarian, who risked his life for his dream to become a dancer despite a nationwide dancing ban. The film stars Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and Reece Ritchie (Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time).

 

LipSync previously worked with the producer, Pippa Cross, on Knife Edge.

 

Cross commented, “My previous experience working with LipSync's talented team demonstrated that I could wholly trustthem to deliver highly creative work, on time and within budget. It's also agreat help to have their input at the production stage to make our post budget go further, and to have all the post elements in one place." 

 

LipSync’s has recently provided both equity investment and post services to projects including Great Expectations, Broken, which recently won two BIFAs including the coveted Best British Independent Film prize, and Shame, which won the European Cinematographer and European Editor awards at the European Film Awards.
