Set in the near future Dreamquil follows Gary (John C Reilly) and Carol (Elizabeth Banks) who live in an apartment in a polluted city. Carol is unsatisfied by her live and, on the advice of a friend, decides to get her life back-on-track with a new kind of wellness retreat - a form of "digital ayahuasca." When she returns home she discovers that her break has had unexpected consequences...
DreamQuil dances through a Black Mirror style science fiction melodrama but with a contemporary focus that flows through its narrative that slowly unravells the relationship between reality and dream. Beautifully designed with a retro-futurist aeathetic, this will look glorious on the big screen.
