Project Detail

While I Can Dream

Synopsis

A totally different take on a short film. Rather than a conventional narrative, this is a collection of vignettes showing how 5 contrasting characters: an ageing lothario; a disillusioned yuppie; a movie-obsessed kid; a tense commuter and an 80 year old distance runner find solace and reassurance in their fantasies.
