Second Life of Addison Jacobs
After a near-death experience, Addison Jacobs discovers she can see glimpses of other people's futures, forcing her to question her own path and purpose.

Project Brief
"Second Life of Addison Jacobs" follows the journey of a young woman who, after surviving a traumatic accident, begins experiencing strange visions that she gradually realizes are glimpses into other people's futures. As she struggles to understand this newfound ability, Addison must navigate the moral complexities of possessing knowledge that could alter the course of lives around her. The film explores themes of fate, free will, and the responsibility that comes with extraordinary power. As Addison's visions become more frequent and intense, she finds herself at a crossroads: use her gift to help others, exploit it for personal gain, or attempt to shut it out completely. Her choices lead her down an unexpected path of self-discovery and redemption. We're aiming for a visually distinctive pilot that blends elements of psychological drama with subtle supernatural elements. The visual language will shift between the grounded reality of Addison's daily life and the ethereal, dreamlike quality of her visions, creating a compelling contrast that mirrors her internal struggle.
