Guided by a YouTube self-help brofluencer, Chuck embarks on a journey to manifest his deepest desires. But as he dives deeper into this mysterious practice, reality begins to unravel. What starts as a harmless exercise in mindfulness descends into a surreal and unsettling nightmare that forces him to question the boundaries of his will—and the universe itself.
Set against the backdrop of modern hustle culture and the intoxicating allure of self-help promises, this suspenseful short film explores the dark side of our need for control, connection, and meaning.
Dive into this gripping story of obsession, manifestation, and the unexpected cost of getting exactly what you want.
