Please Stand By

2017 • Allegiance Theater
Main Title Sequence
Directed by Ben Lewin

In Please Stand By, Dakota Fanning plays a young autistic woman who enters a Star Trek screenwriting contest, channeling her creativity and inner life through the familiar structure of the show she loves.

We designed a tranquil, contemplative space sequence to accompany her opening voice-over—mirroring both her imagination and her emotional distance from the world around her. The visuals gently set the tone, placing the audience inside her perspective before the story begins.
