SYNOPSIS
Fifteen-year-old Kim, overwhelmed by social media, is unexpectedly pulled into a surreal, multi-dimensional journey guided by a wise-cracking alien dog named Jeff. Facing a 24-hour deadline, Kim must navigate bizarre landscapes and encounter a cast of eccentric characters—from historical figures to cyborg shamans—to complete a quest for freedom and self-discovery. Their journey challenges Kim to confront past traumas, understand the interconnectedness of all life, and embrace the importance of playfulness and connection with nature, ultimately leading to a profound transformation and a newfound appreciation for the fragility and beauty of existence.
It was written by over 400 people during the pandemic and the story was then brought to life with the layering of podcast audio from Indigenous podcast The Other Others led by Tyson Yunkapora.
The message is we have to find a way to engage together with our Indigenous knowledge systems, with nature, with each other, to find a path to hope and joy and economies that can ensure human kind will not destroy ourselves and all the other creatures on this tiny rock in out of space.
To inspire via imagination, to show young people through the whole project how to make something out of nothing.
To create a wave of call and responses where students and schools can create their own IMAGINE Films.
Our desire is to create a revolutionary wave in the 21st century that moves people from inactive, stuck, to a place of inspiration, power, agency to author their own stories.
