LUCID

A 1990s art student uses a lucid dreaming elixir to break through creative blocks, only to find herself trapped in a surreal dreamscape where her inner demons manifest as real-life monsters.

Synopsis

It’s 1994, and art student Mia Sunshine Jones must pass her self-portrait project or be kicked out of school. The problem? She has no idea who she really is. Desperate to break through her creative block, Mia turns to a magical Lucid Dreaming Elixir. While the potion sparks her creativity, it also unleashes dark monsters from her subconscious. As Mia battles these creatures—like a Fried Chicken Monster—her art flourishes. But when her estranged mother appears as a monstrous figure, Mia must confront the painful truths of her past.
