DREAMING OF YOU received an Honorable Mention for the Grand Jury Prize for Narrative Feature at the 2024 Dances With Films festival.
DREAMING OF YOU tells the story of Miles Puck, a struggling young man yearning for connection, who attends a sleep study only to meet the girl of his dreams, Ren Helena. Unfortunately, during the same study, Miles is also diagnosed with anxiety driven night terrors. Now, his stress levels are skyrocketing as he manages his new relationship, a dead-end job, and bad dreams plagued by vicious polar bears, haunted hellscapes and other wild manifestations of his real-life fears. At least he has a friendly teddy bear, Kip Van Winkle, appearing in his dreams to help guide him through these nightmares.
The film combines live action and various animation set pieces to bring dreams to life in this heartwarming and relatable tale. Pizzazz aplenty!
Written and directed by Jack McCafferty, DREAMING OF YOU was produced by Bridgett Greenberg and Jack McCafferty. The featured cast includes McCafferty (‘Miles Puck/Kip Van Winkle’), Lauren LaVera (‘Ren Helena’), Ian Ross (‘Carter Bottom/Facebrook’), Jake Westphal as (‘Leo Oberon/Uncle Tony’), Katie Marovitch (‘Vanya/Shark’), Liz Priestly (‘Nurse’), and Kevin Giles (‘Shadow Demon’).
“DREAMING OF YOU is a film all about connections and communication. It can be hard for some people to find the courage to open up,” said filmmaker Jack Mcafferty. “We used dreams to explore how someone’s fears can manifest in one’s mind to impede that needed communication. We took inspiration from my own history of night terrors and anxiety and twisted them to tell a story full of fun jokes poking fun at the things that keep us up at night. We handle very serious topics in some of the most playful ways possible. I’m very proud of that.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire DREAMING OF YOU directly with the filmmakers.
