What if you could let someone else experience your dreams? For example: A man and his grandmother hide out from an ominous broadcast. The Grim Reaper hosts a TV show. The formerly incarcerated recount and reinterpret their first days of freedom. A suburban mom has the beast growing inside of her. And a high school gym teacher runs drills from inside a volcano.

From there, we took the film out on the festival circuit, racking up great reviews, free drinks and even the occasional distribution offer along the way.

For Free. - Dan Schoenbrun, producer
