Audience Feedback:

“Visually striking and conceptually bold. ‘Pink Me Blue’ dares to ask why we ever boxed ourselves in by colour, or by anything.”

“What if pink didn’t mean one thing, and blue didn’t mean another? This film turns that simple question into something pretty profound.”

“It’s not only about breaking out of pink and blue boxes, it’s about breaking out of the idea that getting older is something to hide. Beautiful and freeing.”

“Such a cool concept, a sci-fi romance that unpacks all the boxes we are shoved into. Left me questioning why we ever needed them.”

“A gentle sci-fi reminder that who we are at any age is far more interesting than trying to stay forever young.”

“Who knew breaking stereotypes could be this dreamy? It’s like a love letter to the idea of letting people just be.”

“Futuristic yet so relevant. Shows how small shifts in thinking could completely rewrite what’s possible.”

“Loved how it didn’t just tackle gender norms but also our obsession with youth. “Pink Me Blue” makes you wonder why we fear growing older at all.”

Longer Synopsis:

In a not-so-distant future where societal norms are reimagined and cultural binaries are dissolved, "Pink Me Blue" explores a world unbound by the traditional constructs of gender, age, and expectation. What if pink didn’t mean one thing, and blue didn’t mean another? What if the most radical form of rebellion was simply to be yourself?

This visually poetic and thought-provoking short film follows two individuals who meet in a society that has begun to unravel long-held stereotypes, especially those that reduce identity to colours, genders, and numbers. As they connect in an increasingly fluid and evolving world, the story becomes a reflection on self-expression, love, and the courage it takes to redefine the narratives we've inherited.

Told through a gentle, dreamlike lens, "Pink Me Blue" doesn’t just challenge the artificial boundaries of colour and conformity, it questions our collective fear of ageing and our obsession with remaining forever young. It paints a picture of a future where emotional authenticity outweighs artificial perfection, and where maturity is celebrated as a dimension of character rather than a decline to be hidden.

A love story at its core, the film invites viewers to reimagine what connection looks like when the rules have been rewritten, where gender isn't a box, age isn't a barrier, and identity isn't binary.

With its surreal aesthetic, introspective tone, and subtle humour, "Pink Me Blue" is a sci-fi short that’s both futuristic and incredibly current. It’s a quiet revolution on screen, a call to expand our definitions of love, beauty, and self.
