"Vibrant Futures" is a mini-series about a tree-dwelling community living in giant redwoods
that experience a rebirth of consciousness. Originally written and
conceived as a five hour long film, it has been subdivided into a series
of open-ended episodes being produced and released in consecutive
order.
Episode One, a 50 min introduction to Vibrant Futures establishes the main characters and their motives; Carl, Trey, and Lucy, three tree-sitting hippies, the recently deceased Spirit Bear, dearly beloved trickster of the forest community, Spirit Bear's mourning-lover Moonface, the clairvoyant mystic, and the five Bigfoot Brothers who farm psychedelic mushrooms that are loosely connected by a set of seemingly insignificant objects; a mysterious purple hat, pinecones, mushrooms, and green sneakers. These insubstantial commodities gradually gain significance, guiding our protagonists on a journey of self-discovery in the episodes that follow.
In the upcoming episodes:
menstrual potions, free-form improv
spoken word drum circles, bad apples, tree-huts, pine-cones,
hippie-scholars, horse-carts, paranatural puppetry communication, a
Harvest Moon Festival, nude-dancing, orgies, zip-lines, gender
transformations, Cane Toad-licking, and much more...
