Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

A transdimensional tourism ad for Meow Wolf's new Convergence Station in Denver featuring earth-based bipedal musician Bret McKenzie. Have a nice trip?

We’re on a moving train. A distressed traveler weeps as he realizes he’s never been outside of boring old earth. A song starts and we learn that maybe there’s a better way. The train travels through other intergalactic times and dimensions. The song tells us to “Get out and see the worlds.” The train and song are interrupted by a professor speaking Japanese. He explains the dangers of interdimensional travel and worm holes. Oh no, he accidentally opens a worm hole himself when he attempts to explain his thoughts with a pencil and a map! Time bends as everything is sucked into the multiverse. We end on the train flying through space. Cut to an end card about buying tickets and visiting Convergence Station. The end.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

This interdimensional tourism film for Meow Wolf's Convergence Station combined bespoke set builds, a live action shoot and archival footage into one seamless piece that transcended multiple galaxies. Using footage from the past 60+ years with modern visual effects to tie it all together created a train ride that spans the multiverse and brings the viewer through all the unique Convergence worlds.
