Dreamland

Description

The movie Dreamland is a wonderfully put together indie drama by first time director Jason Matzner. The story revolves around a pair of friends, Audrey and Calista, played by Agnes Bruckner and Kelli Garner respectively. Audrey and Calista are best friends and recent high school graduates living in a trailer park in New Mexico. Audrey is a bookish writer and poet, who dreams of going to college, but is stuck living in the trailer park, which goes by the name Dreamland, because of circumstances related to her best friend, as well as her alcoholic widower father. Calista, meanwhile dreams of one day becoming Miss America and bringing worldwide attention to the sickness that keeps her from pursuing much of a life outside the trailer park.
