Orion is a boy who is afraid of everything including bully Richi Panichi and girl crush Sally. He puts it all down in his notebook. One night, he is visited by one of his worst fears, the Dark. The Dark is an actual supernatural being and it takes him on a journey through the world of night-time beings.
This is based on a children's book. Charlie Kaufman is one of the writers and seemed to have injected his brand of existential dread. I love some of the ideas, but this may not be for the littlest ones in the audience. It's interesting that the Dark is such a friendly character. I would have thought that it should be a scary character at the start and Orion learns to see its beauty later.
