​
Alisha Davis is a high school junior with a dream she’s too afraid to chase—a passion for acting that her parents insist is unrealistic. Caught between their rigid expectations and her own aspirations, Alisha’s world feels suffocating, weighed down by anxiety, loneliness, and self-doubt. But everything begins to shift when she takes a bold step and auditions for the lead role in her school’s production The Wizard of Oz.
With the support of her best friend Cole, her fearless and spirited cousin Melany, and Uma— a mysterious AI assistant offering transformative advice, Alisha begins to uncover a hidden strength she never knew she had. Rehearsals push her to the edge, and a ruthless rival threatens to steal the spotlight, but Alisha must find the courage to stand tall, embrace her voice, and prove that dreams—no matter how “shallow” they may seem—are worth chasing.

It entertains while educating on the complex interplay between human potential and the growing presence of AI in shaping our futures.
