From child prodigy accolades at age 9, to backstage tears and moving alone to New York City to study at Juilliard at age 14, filming includes behind-the-scenes footage at concerts, airports, auditions and in hotel rooms around the world.

On the cusp of international stardom at age 20, Marika has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Verbier Festival, had an audition with a major recording label, and found her first love -- but also finds out her parents are divorcing and begins to question her path. With over 130 hours of footage in nearly a dozen international locations, Making Marika is a process film shot in cinema verite style about chasing an elusive dream and the cost that comes with it.

Making Marika reveals a side of the classical music industry never seen before, where a combination of talent, lost childhoods, networking savvy and nerves of steel are crucial to make it to the top. But the film ultimately reveals Marika's often tumultuous journey to come to terms with parental pressure to perform, and how she ultimately finds her own voice and meaning of success.
