I am excited to collaborate with Finite Films on this project--what the company has described as "a giant puzzle: an ongoing mystery involving the dreams of interconnected characters." The main events of "Anamnesis" take place entirely in the mind of Adam, a young man whose life is flashing before his eyes in the moments before his death. While this might seem like the end of the story, it’s only the beginning. In the aftermath of his death and the chain of events that follow, we get to know Hannah, Adam’s fiancee, as she tries to understand the reasons behind his sudden, violent death. We’re introduced to a new cast of characters, including Sean, a lucid dreamer who begins to prefer his dreams to reality; Vera, a fiercely independent tech wizard who is plagued by night terrors; and Noah, a happily married man who has a sneaking suspicion that there’s something wrong with his reality. Each 12-minute episode of the series will weave together these characters’ respective stories as they begin to realize that they are all connected in a profound way. <img src="http://payload122.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/4744785/85944f410d6268023c858a348a5b717b_large_640.png" width="640" height="360" width_o="700" height_o="394" src_o="http://payload122.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/4744785/85944f410d6268023c858a348a5b717b_large_o.png" data-mid="25315134" border="0" align="left"/> "Anamnesis" is a new sci-fi thriller web series about a group of strangers who realize they are connected by shared, lucid dreams.

This is where we find Drake, our man in the middle. Set for a Fall 2012 release, "Frames," is a short film about a weathered carpenter who faces his demons of inadequacy when his wife's ex comes back to town as his boss. <img src="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_5744_640.jpeg" width="640" height="426" width_o="1024" height_o="682" src_o="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_5744_o.jpeg" data-mid="21213486" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_6741_640.jpeg" width="640" height="426" width_o="1024" height_o="682" src_o="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_6741_o.jpeg" data-mid="21213495" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_5752_640.jpeg" width="640" height="426" width_o="1024" height_o="682" src_o="http://payload56.cargocollective.com/1/3/103892/3422310/IMG_5752_o.jpeg" data-mid="21213429" border="0" align="left"/> written & directed by Zach Mehrbach produced by Athanasios Tsiris Close your eyes and imagine a world that hasn't progressed from the late 1980s since the last... http://dylansaunders.net/The-DigiTour http://dylansaunders.net/following/dylansaunders.net/The-DigiTour Mon, 23 Jul 2012 21:14:59 +0000 Dylan Saunders 1326338 Dylan is proud to announce his participation in The DigiTour 2011, the first ever large-scale, six-week national tour made up exclusively of YouTube musicians!

The play stars A.C.T. and Oregon Shakespeare Festival veteran Marco Barricelli and The Old Globe's Kandis Chappell, and will be directed by Richard E.T. White. This is a bit of a dream for me, as I grew up watching Marco and Richard’s work at A.C.T. as a kid. “This quintessential drama of family strife will keep you on the edge of your seat using crackling dialogue, biting cleverness, and delivered with historical and psychological insight. James Goldman’s 'The Lion In Winter' depicts the battle between Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine as they pit sex and politics against each other to choose which of their three scheming sons will be the next heir to the British throne. Turning domestic toil into a heightened art form, the events in 'The Lion In Winter' unfold as though they take place in 21st century America, rather than 12th century Europe: insecure siblings fighting for their parents’ attention; bickering spouses who can’t stand to be together or apart; adultery and sexual experimentation; and even the struggle to balance work and family.” Tickets can be purchased online, or by phone at: 831.459.2159 THE LION IN WINTER by James Goldman directed by Richard E.T.

The story springs to life with inventive and awe-inspiring puppetry, transforming Chicago Shakespeare Theater's Courtyard Theater into a larger-than-life, European marionette stage. Carved out of wood by the lonely toymaker Geppetto, Pinocchio tumbles from one disastrous situation to another in search of adventure—only to discover that, in the end, all he really needs is an unselfish heart and the love of his father. Based on Carlo Collodi's classic tale, and featuring an original book and score by Broadway writing team Neil Bartram and Brian Hill, this world premiere musical illuminates the bond between parents and children in a magical performance that is sure to enchant audiences of all ages!
