Magnetosphere is a 2024 Canadian coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Nicola Rose, starring Shayelin Martin, Steven He, Colin Mochrie and Patrick McKenna. It explores the themes of neurodiversity, first love, and growing up through the character of Maggie, a young neurodivergent teenager realizing she has synesthesia. After moving across the country with her family, she experiences her first love, meets her first best friend, and comes to terms with her neurodivergence.

Magnetosphere was Rose's second feature film, following Goodbye, Petrushka. After screening at the Dances With Films and ReelAbilities film festivals among others, the film was released on multiple streaming platforms via Freestyle Digital Media in July 2025.
