THE ATOMIC DREAM - Oscar-Qualified, Award-Winning Short Film [4K] 

Oscar®-Qualified and critically-acclaimed, THE ATOMIC DREAM has been praised as "beautifully and vividly realized" (Richard Propes/The Independent Critic), "fantastically sharp and clever" (Calum Cooper/FlickFeast), and "an extraordinary piece of filmmaking" (Short Films Matter). Winner of 22 festival awards and 34 nominations, including at the 2022 SCAD Savannah Film Festival, the story is set in the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination and the era's pervasive nuclear fears. Described as a "film that gets under your skin" and "a lovely little poisoned confection" (Steve Kopian/Unseenfilms.com), the film tells the story of Frank, his estranged mother-in-law Sophia 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 relationship with Rodney. A darkly-imaginative, period sci-fi story, THE ATOMIC DREAM serves as an allegory for our troubled modern times.
