Description
The arrival of night is inevitable for everyone, bringing along the frightening and unpredictable darkness. This is precisely what the new fantasy dramedy Orion And The Dark Afdah explores, presenting a unique perspective on childhood fears and anxiety. Orion, an anxious 11-year-old boy, grapples with his emotions regarding worst-case scenarios, social interactions, first crushes, and the darkness of the night. Based on Emma Yarlett's book of the same name, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman skillfully combines imaginative elements suitable for children, likely derived from the original text, with his own quirky sensibility that remains intact throughout the story.
