Dancehall Queen frames a modern-day Cinderella story about street vendor gone performer Marcia with the scintillating sights and pulsing reggae and dancehall sounds of Kingston, Jamaica.

There are very few ways out of the gritty Kingston ghetto. But when Marcia, a humble street vendor, discovers the world of the dancehall, she finds more than great music and hot relationships - she finds her escape to a better life. From Island Jamaica Films and Hawk's Nest productions, comes this modern-day Cinderella story with no Prince Charming, but backed by a pulsing reagge and dancehall soundtrack, and revealing the scintillating sights and sounds of Kingston, Jamaica.

Quote:

High spirited, energetic and colorful, the new Jamaican film, Dancehall Queen, is the story of a humble street vendor who finds an unusual way of getting her family out of the harrowing, violent-ridden ghetto she lives in. Emotionally engaging, if also too broad and simplistic, this contempo fairy tale boasts such an enchanting performance by Audrey Reid that it may warrant a limited theatrical distribution in major cities. Pic should also travel the festival road as an all-too-rare sampler from Jamaica, an entertaining movie that offers pulsing reggae music and scintillating sights of the vibrant island
