short film | 13 mins
James never misses his dreams – he records them straight to VHS using Dreamspoon wireless technology. But when a work colleague, Erica, stops by after work, she finds something surprising amongst the titles. Curiosity gets the better of her and the evening takes an unexpected turn…
Starring Gugu Mbatha Raw and O-T Fagbenle, all my dreams on vhs is a bittersweet comedy about the dangers of letting your subconscious out in the real world.
