Surreal/Drama
Logline: After experiencing a series of vivid dreams and encounters with a mysterious man named Stephen, a monotonous office worker named Paul becomes drawn into a surreal journey to uncover the meaning behind his dreams and discover his true self.
Synopsis: In this thrilling and mysterious journey, Paul, an office worker stuck in a monotonous routine, begins experiencing strange dreams and encounters a man named Stephen. As Paul explores the symbolism behind his dreams, he starts questioning his mundane existence. With Stephen’s guidance, Paul questions his own life. As he follows Stephen to the place of his dreams, Paul encounters a woman named Sarah. In a twist of fate, Paul finds himself inside the very house from his dreams, surrounded by photographs that hint at his connection to the mysterious world he has stumbled upon. With Stephen’s enigmatic presence and Sarah’s invitation, Paul steps into this unknown realm, realizing that the power to transform his life lies within himself.
Director’s Statement: “Dream On” is a Surreal/Drama based on following dreams. Paul lives a monotony, boring life without questioning why he lives like that but constantly dreams of another life and place. The idea comes from the points in life where we get accustomed to living the same every day, from being afraid of taking risks and getting out of our comfortable places. All this brings the influence of movies like Nimic(2019), The Lobster (2015), and Fight Club (1999). In addition, a reflection on life and surreal elements inspires this project.
