The Atlas Of Human Accomplishment

Short Film Non Union
San Diego
Synopsis:

For 137 years, every member of the Rosenberg-Thongthammarat family has earned a place in The Atlas of Human Accomplishment, a legendary record book devoted to humanity’s most extraordinary achievements. But fifteen-year-old Amelia is about to become the first exception. Despite a lifetime of failed attempts dating back to age three, Amelia remains accomplishment-less. As the Atlas prepares its final edition, she has one last day to accomplish something, anything, and preserve her family’s unbroken legacy. Told as a deadpan mockumentary that blends interviews, archival footage, and generations of increasingly absurd accomplishments, The Atlas of Human Accomplishment is a comedy about perseverance, failure, and discovering that the achievement that matters most may not be the one anyone expected.
