The Atomic Dream (2022)

Oscar®-qualified and praised as an "undeniable connection to these very times" (Richard Propes/The Independent Critic) and "fantastically sharp and clever" (Calum Cooper/Flickfeast), THE ATOMIC DREAM 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" (Steve Kopian/Unseen Films), 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.
