I Had a Dream

The short-feature documentary, I Had a Dream, is an ironic portrait of the life of self-described "Dream Expert" and so-called "talented person" Michael Lennox. Through the application of a psychological gaze, the filmmaker takes the audience on a journey into the secret mind of the protagonist and his ardent desire for admiration, acclaim and love - and in doing so begins to peel away layers of artifice to show the tenderly beating heart of a wounded gay man. Gradually it becomes apparent that Michael is, perhaps unconsciously, working through the extensive early trauma inflicted upon him by a homophobic society and family. By subtly weaving Michael's story together with original animated sequences and Michael's own archival footage, the viewer - as Michael's "enlightened witness" - is lead to a simultaneously humorous and ultimately moving meditation on the prospect for recovery and rehabilitation of the "wounded child" in all of us.

What a movie. The price is worth paying. This movie gets straight to the point.

Very enjoyable movie to watch. I would watch it again.

Really cool Fantasy with unforgettable characters. You should watch this, and you’ll be HOOKED

Loved the movie. Definitely worth watching especially if you like Fantasy

The acting was superb - all the characters done well. Helen Slater was amazing.

Well done and very surprising! Highly recommend it!

When I realized who directed this one, I thought, "Oh, no - not Tim Atzinger!" but I was WRONG! "Mr Tim Atzinger, surprise me!" I'm not only surprised - I am also very much impressed!

A movie that will hook you from the start

great performance by all, I truly enjoyed this Fantasy movie
