HELP US Share THE FILM
The film is finished. We did it!
After years of hard work, this wonderful little movie is finally alive. What a journey!
Thank you to everyone who’s supported it along the way. Truly. Every bit of it mattered.
And now, the fun part. We’re sending it out into the world! Festival submissions have begun, and soon this little labor of love will be out in the big wide world finding its audience.
But we still need your help!
Festival submissions cost money, and if it gets accepted, we’ll need to travel to represent the film. If you want to help it along, every donation goes toward fees and getting us there. Maybe I will see you out there!
Thank you for being part of this adventure with us!
Every contribution goes directly toward festival fees and expenses.

- SYNOPSIS -
After a young teen awakes from a hypnotic trance in a strange land he must search high and low for a way to escape his lonely existence. Will his curiosity and ingenuity be able to withstand repeated failures and the familiar draw to complacency, or will he find a way to break through his limits and explore the great beyond?
- ABOUT -
A contemporary re-imagining of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” wrapped in magic, “Bloom” intends to uncover the beauty of imagination, creativity, and dreams for those believing life is nothing more than the limits we’ve been shown. This project aims to bring hope to the young who long to soar above the clouds while also awakening the old who abandoned their dreams of journeying to the moon. The universe is quaking, inviting the world to climb out of our earthly cages, gaze into the depths of the magical ocean of creativity, and ask what it is that makes us bloom?
Purpose
Bloom explores themes of loneliness, longing, curiosity, wonder, and failure. Asking questions like: What does it take for someone to bloom into their full potential? What holds us back? Is it ever too late to try?
It aims to inspire you to stay curious, never give up, and remind you that no one achieves anything alone. The world is full of wonder, there is a place for you in it, and your story can inspire others.
