This proposal summarizes a short film about a girl struggling to make friends who creates an imaginary friend. It will follow her journey from using her imaginary friend to gain confidence to make real friends to eventually understanding she no longer needs her imaginary companion as she grows up. The film aims to convey messages about growing up and moving to the next stage of life to an audience of 16-20 year old students through a coming of age story with elements of reality and imagination. It will be produced by the proposal author working with two others, with roles divided between filming/editing and animation.
