JULIE DREAMING is the story of a teenage girl who, with her best friend, has mastered the art of lucid dreaming
(the awareness that a dream is taking place, and control over it). However, Julie is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and her disturbed
history indicates that her ‘abilities’ may run far deeper.
Although searching for normality, Julie watches with some embarrassment
as three males compete for her attention, for very different reasons, as her inner demons propel her towards destruction and her gifts
attract a famously eccentric para-psychologist obsessed with mind-control and ‘the ultimate assassination.’
Julie becomes his
ideal guinea-pig and her desire for normality turns into a fight for survival, taking her from childhood dreams of a father-figure
slaying dragons, to horrific adult nightmares of abandonment amidst grotesque monsters, from which only one heroic ‘knight’ can save
her.
Julie is finally forced to face her own ‘demons’ and to distinguish between those people who love her and those who wish
to use her.
This is a teen-romantic-thriller with a strong horror back-drop and a self-mocking satirical edge. A mystic love-story
that utilises the mystic in a way all audiences can understand, relate to, and talk about.
Satirically self-aware, the SP meshes
the style of hip teen movies like ’Final Destination,' with the mystic other-worldliness of ‘Narnia’.
Note: This SP is set
for a slight redraft. The ready to go edit will be announced on this site.
