Synopsis

'American Dream ?' is a three-day emotional whirlwind into the life of a college grad turned lunatic (West) and his oddly-discovered, mentally challenged friend (Art), trying to live out the harsh reality of the present times within society's darkest side.

This edgy, must see feature comedy, is a vision of the fictional subconscious mixed with real-life, seamlessly laid into an original storyline....something that has never been done before! Through live hidden cameras, intuitive thoughts, nightmares and unfortunate relationships, West and Art take you on an unforgettable cinematic voyage filled with trauma, humor, love, tranquility & chaos.

Adding to the complexity of this unique story, West & Art not only have to live out their saga in the fictional and non-fictional realm, but they must do it with a most intriguing companion intertwined in their fate, Nancy the Blowup Doll. Yes, a lunatic, a mentally handicapped, and a latex beauty....connect the three.!!

'American Dream ?' will generate both controversy and curiosity within ones own subconscious regarding faith, sexuality, childhood and overall state of mind towards the world we live in today. It combines the distinctive brilliance of Kubrick, with the disgruntled genius of Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down', and twisted humor of 'South Park', to create a one-of-a-kind, edgy comedic experience.
