LOG-LINE: An
emotionally vulnerable teenage girl, who possesses potentially unlimited
paranormal abilities, is wooed by three men with very different motives...one
to have her, one to love her, one to kill her...
LOGO: If Dreams Can
Come True, Nightmares Can Too.
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 the ‘Scream’ series
with the mystic other-worldliness of ‘Narnia’.
