New Film From Award-Winning Writer Steven Peros
A young woman who wakes up at dawn on the handprints and footprints of the famed Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with no idea how she got there. Is she dreaming…perhaps she is.
Regardless of whether she is dreaming or wide awake, she sets off on a journey, from one person to the next, one famous locale after the other.
Along her journey she comes in contact with a pair of tour guides, two super hero impersonators, a Scientology auditor, and a memorabilia shop owner. She also finds herself eerily followed by a stranger who may be real or a figment of her unsteady imagination.
By sundown sundown of the same day she will piece together the revelatory truth about her existence and the reason for her awakening, forcing her to make choices that will literally result in either her life… or death.
Writer/Director Steve Peros explains, I knew I wanted to make a film that was not quite magical realism, but had magic to it. Hollywood Boulevard, with its juxtaposition of Chinese and Egyptian Theatres, its rearing-up elephants – inspired by Griffith’s “Intolerance” — atop a shopping plaza, its sidewalk paved with stars, all seemed like the ideal setting for a tale equal parts “Wizard of Oz” and “Alice in Wonderland, ” but with adult audiences in mind.
I am an optimist, a humanist, and a romanticist, so despite the uncomfortable existentialist moments in the film, it is ultimately a story of hope, of second chances, and of changing gears from passive to active.
