Story
About The Project
What do you want to be when you grow up?” You would be hard pressed to find a human over the age of 5 who has not been asked that question. I often wonder what would happen if this common phrase was replaced with an opposing mentality, the attitude that perhaps a better question is: “What do you want to be today?”. I fell in love with this script in part because it shows what would happen if we really did live our lives like today was our last day.
I am so connected to this story in every way. I love that it explores the experience of childhood when the world is still full of wonder, mystery and possibility. I love that though it is comedic and about the wonder and imagination of childhood it has a darker side as well and explores what anxiety and fear looks like in a child's world. I adore that the comedic aspects of the film because the humor comes organically from real and relatable characters.
