Ticket to Dream
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Cinematography / Short Form / 2025
“Ticket to Dream” follows two journeys across time: a young couple trying to move to Canada for a brighter future, and a Canadian athlete determined to achieve her Olympic dreams. During creative development, we realized that many Canadian athletes shared a dual-identity that they proudly express as part of their Olympic journey. The two narratives run in parallel before revealing a twist: the athlete is the young couple’s daughter, and her dream was made possible through her parents’ dream.
