A wildly imaginative and kind-hearted boy’s mission to become a superhero is challenged when his optimistic view of the world begins to crumble.

I've always been fascinated with celebrating the ordinary. I've wondered if its possible to make everyday things feel like they have the epic stakes of a superhero movie. Can something as simple as returning a teddy bear feel like a scene out of an action blockbuster? Invincible Boy is my attempt to do that by using the lens of a child. Kids feel things purely and strongly on a grand scale. We all started life with the boundless energy and imagination to dream big and feel invincible. I wanted to capture that and make a film about superheroics in the mundane and make kindness cool!
