“Young People Big Dreams”
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Damn, wtf is this job?” while clocking in, then this might be the 17-minute dark comedy of your dreams. Watch the trailer below. Coming to a film festival near you soon.
Director, Writer, Producer:
VANESSA SCHEFKE
YOUNG PEOPLE BIG DREAMS follows a group of seemingly unrelated characters living in a big, anxiety-ridden, and hectic American city.
Their uniting factor is their shared relationship with their jobs: each has a job they despise, don’t understand, and, most of all, feel alienated by.
Through philosophical deep dives, absurd encounters, and plenty of satire, the 17-minute dark comedy explores what it’s like to be young and employed in America today:
How the younger generations feel and think, what their hopes and dreams might be, and, ultimately, what we can expect from the American Dream today.
