SYNOPSIS:
I own the life rights to Ragen Chastain, a national speaker whose blog, www.danceswithfat.com, receives 20,000 hits per week. Today, at 5’2”, 280 lbs, Ragen may look like she’s eaten a few cheeseburgers too many. But she happens to be one of the best competitive dancers in the world. She was also once sold to a Malian prince for two air conditioners. But we’ll get to that. When Ragen ends up at a gay cowboy bar on a first date, she agrees to enter a country dance contest. Her partner: a gay Jewish South African engineer. To Ragen the surprise isn’t when they win their first contest: it’s when the judge, Cindi, says, “Think how good you’ll be once you take the weight off.” It all comes to a head right before the championship, when Cindi corners her in an elevator and screams “You have no business wearing spaghetti straps!”

Great story. Would love to see it made. Luck!
