All My Dreams On VHS
short film
Written and directed by Timothy X Atack co-produced by Tanuja Amarasuriya & George Chan
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.
A bittersweet comedy about the dangers of letting your subconscious out in the real world.
