Praised as a "film that gets under your skin" and "a lovely little poisoned confection" (Steve Kopian/UnseenFilms), The Atomic Dream is set against the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination and the era's pervasive nuclear fears. Described as "as something out of The Twilight Zone" (Chris Salce/Film Threat), the film tells the story of Frank (Guy Kent), his estranged mother-in-law Sophia (Marchand Storch) and her curious affinity for an enigmatic teddy bear named Rodney. When Frank stops by to check in on Sophia, he finds himself confronting her grand fantasies that the very fate of humanity is at stake as well as her curious relationship with Rodney. A darkly-imaginative, period sci-fi story, The Atomic Dream "echoes the modern-day fears pertaining to the human race" (Shorted) and serves as an allegory for our troubled modern times. From award-winning, Half Initiative filmmaker #AngadAulakh. Starring #GuyKent, #MarchandStorch. #TheAtomicDream
