## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

After the Ball is a 2015 Canadian romantic comedy-drama film directed by Sean Garrity. The movie, which has a runtime of one hour and forty-one minutes, is described as a retail fairy tale set within the fashion industry. The story follows Kate, a talented aspiring designer who struggles to find employment in couturier houses. Her difficulty stems from the reputation of her father, Lee Kassell, a retail guru known for marketing clothing inspired by the very designers Kate hopes to work for. Fearing she may be a spy, potential employers turn her away. Kate eventually joins the family business, where she must contend with a duplicitous stepmother and two wicked stepsisters. To navigate this environment, she relies on vintage clothing provided by her godmother, the assistance of a colleague in the shoe department, and a shocking switch. The film received a limited release in Canada on February 27, 2015, followed by a video-on-demand release on April 24, 2015.
