‘Dreams in Nightmares’ Trailer
Coming to New York City and Los Angeles In August, Before Nationwide.
The official trailer has arrived for “Dreams in Nightmares,” the highly anticipated sophomore feature from acclaimed writer-director Shatara Michelle Ford.
Distributed by Lunette Films, the film opens theatrically in New York City on Friday, August 21st and Los Angeles on Friday, August 28th, before expanding to theaters nationwide in September.
Led by Tony-nominated Denée Benton, Dreams in Nightmares follows three Black queer femmes in their mid-thirties who set out on a road trip across the Midwestern United States in search of a friend who has seemingly disappeared off the grid.
Equal parts tender character study and simmering thriller, the film puts Ford‘s singular stamp on the American road movie.
“I had to say something about what it feels like to be a Black queer person in America,” states Ford of the film.
The ensemble cast includes Sasha Compère, Charlie Barnett, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mars Storm Rucker, and Dezi Bing, alongside Molly Bernard, Alfie Fuller, Malek Mouzon, Joss Barton, Regina Taylor, and Robert Wisdom.
“Dreams in Nightmares” marks Ford’s follow-up to their celebrated debut Test Pattern, which earned three Gotham Award nominations — including Best Picture — and three Independent Spirit Award nominations, including Best First Feature.
The new film made its world premiere as the opening night selection at the BlackStar Film Festival and has since screened at the Berlin International Film Festival, the British Film Institute, NewFest, Frameline, and the Champs-Élysées Film Festival.
