Charming Trailer for MAGNETOSPHERE Highlights a Girl with Synesthesia
Freestyle Digital Media has just released the official trailer for Magnetosphere, a quirky indie coming-of-age comedy directed by Nicola Rose.
Set in 1997, Magnetosphere introduces us to 13-year-old Maggie Campion, played by Shayelin Martin, who has synesthesia, a rare condition that causes her senses to blend in extraordinary ways. Maggie can see sounds and hear colors, but she’s kept her unusual abilities to herself until life forces her to embrace them.
As she navigates new experiences in a new town, including first love, school struggles, and a chaotic community theater production, Maggie starts to discover that her “weirdness” might be her greatest strength.
“Maggie’s world turns upside down when her family relocates, bringing with it a quirky new environment filled with oddball characters. Her theatrical dad (played by Patrick McKenna) is busy staging a hilariously unpolished production of The Pirates of Penzance, while Maggie meets her first best friend, her first crush, and a teacher who sees the potential in her.
"Along with these new relationships, Maggie’s path crosses with Gil, the family's eccentric handyman and exterminator, who might just have a surprising talent of his own.”
It’s this motley crew of characters that helps Maggie finally understand her condition and come to terms with her unique abilities. “Maggie begins to realize her so-called ‘weirdness’ might just be her greatest gift.”
The film looks like a charming, heartfelt exploration of adolescence, self-acceptance, and the strange beauty of synesthesia. It will be released on VOD on July 22, 2025. This charming indie promises to be a must-watch for anyone who’s ever felt like they see the world a little differently.
