ABOUT
THE
FILM.
The American Dream has always been an international cultural icon; it has not shifted much in its stereotype, but it certainly means something different for each person. The goal for some is to settle down in suburbia, for others to start their own business, for others the freedom to be themselves, and for some there is no dream but just to live.
The American Dream is more than just a dream, a trope, or a stereotype; it’s a path that shapes this country with every person who dares to dream.
WHERE IS THIS FILM GOING?
This film is our effort to contribute to the “From Minutes to Movies” shortfest, organized by Imagine Entertainment and The Film Zone, in partnership with Stand Together and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream (MCAAD).
​
Our contribution is a short 20-minute documentary attempting to highlight 4 unique stories about finding their American dream to help inspire, motivate, and tell of unique journeys.
