SYNOPSIS
Resonance: Earth 101 is a sci-fi thriller proof-of-concept trailer.
Shortly after crashing on Earth in 1983, Kara discovers a mysterious VHS tape in an abandoned warehouse. This triggers a recorded message from Josh, a Brooklyn teen who seems to know her story, even before they’ve met. Through his nervous humor, warnings about Earth, and a mixtape he calls “Earth 101,” Josh offers Kara both survival tools and an unexpected connection.
ROLES
JOSH
• Male, 18–25, Black or Mixed Ethnicity
• A hidden tech prodigy from 1983 Brooklyn — sharp, curious, and socially awkward, hiding brilliance behind sarcasm. Nervous yet magnetic. He risks everything to help Kara find her way on Earth.
KARA
• Female, 18–25, Black or Mixed Ethnicity
• A resilient and observant young woman carrying a maturity beyond her years. Athletic and graceful, Kara looks both innocent and ancient, as though she’s already written into myth. Her arrival on Earth sets off an unexpected chain of events.
