A college student failing her philosophy class begins to have visions of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, as she struggles to choose between her big date and passing her class. (Jojo Rabbit meets Clueless)

This short film explores themes of personal growth, self-acceptance, and a comically charming clash between ancient wisdom and modern life.

When I was 18 years old, my uncle gave me a copy of Meditations, the personal diary of Marcus Aurelius. It had a major impact on my outlook on life. I wanted to create a short film that spoke to the universal understanding I was able to glean from someone's life almost 2,000 years ago.
