Dir. Nicola Rose. 2024, 90 mins. U.S. With Shayelin Martin, Patrick McKenna, Colin Mochrie, Tania Webb, Steven He, Mikayla Kong, Debra McGrath. Maggie (Martin) experiences a world where sounds burst into colors and images become melodies. Initially thinking this is something she should hide, Maggie finds unexpected strength in her father’s eccentric theater production, newfound friends, and an understanding teacher. Through their support, Maggie learns to embrace her unique perception, discovering that her “different” way of experiencing the world isn’t something to fear—it’s a gift worth celebrating. Followed by a discussion with director Nicola Rose. View trailer here.
