Full Circuit Sage is a genre-bending, animated series that explores the power of choice, manifestation, and the elastic nature of reality through its central character Sanjati, an orphaned artist living in the mid-23rd century. After nearly dying in a mysterious shuttle accident, “Sanja” finds she now has a strangely flexible relationship to time. She struggles to understand this ability in order to change the course of her past, present and future and save the lives of others.
Synopsis
Introduction
FULL CIRCUIT SAGE is an animated film about SANJA FAERE, a displaced artist who is given an opportunity to work on one of the first satellite cities to be built in low orbit above the Earth’s thermosphere in the mid-23rd century, amidst great social change and political reform.
Sanja struggles to make sense of her place and purpose as a dispossessed, fringe citizen with limited opportunity in a society aspiring to become an egalitarian, equal-opportunity global community. She must transcend her circumstances, overcoming ignorance, self-doubt and social prejudice in her quest to answer those most fundamental, existential, and thought-provoking questions:
“Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “Where do I belong?” “What is the nature of Love?”
She befriends a yoga teacher and her brother, and his close college buddies who address these questions from their unique personal experiences and cultural perspectives. Through vision, courage and chance, she is lead down a path of self-discovery, stumbling upon universal truths that may shake even our own understanding of life, ourselves, and the nature of reality as we think we know it.
