Dream Car

Set in a decaying, dystopian future where clean air is a luxury, Dream Car follows Jim, a reluctant wanderer who awakens with nothing but a sarcastic AI helmet and a vague sense of survival. As he navigates a desolate world in search of breathable air, his journey takes an unexpected turn—driven by impulse, nostalgia, and a desire to reclaim a piece of his former identity. Blending dark humor with grounded sci-fi, Dream Car is a satirical exploration of consumerism, ego, and the absurd lengths we go to in pursuit of meaning.

>Weather
Filming was set back or had to film around the weather and adapted within to the story.

>Color Grading
Still learning about color grading and making creative choices without pushing things too far. Ultimately settled on a look at the end, that jumped back and fourth throughout the process.
