Commuter
Project Details
Logline: A burnt-out office worker escapes her reality through the train advertisements on her daily commute where she must choose how to navigate her new life. Concept: Avni, a burnt-out office worker, escapes her reality through the train advertisements on her daily commute. Through a guided meditation and a bag of special gummies, each ad opens into a surreal world, reflecting a version of herself she longs to become...but when reality catches up, she’s forced to choose: return to reality, or disappear into these worlds forever. This story centers women whose inner lives are rarely seen: immigrant daughters, women of color in corporate spaces, and those living high-functional lives with hidden depression. It's a love letter to imagination and to those stuck between expectation and selfhood, searching for a doorway out.
