While we here at Artison prominently feature other artists, we have decided to let you in on a secret, we are artists too. Now that you know that, there is more to tell. We made it onto kickstarter, which is a platform used to fund artistic projects. Our project that made the cut was Dreams of an Insomniac, a film we’ve been working on for some time now.

A few details are below, but if you want all the info you’ll have to head over to Kickstarter. They have an exclusive video too, so check it out.

Dreams of an insomniac is a single film that will be released in two separate ways.

Dreams of an Insomniac is a compilation of 6 short stories that overlap through the thoughts, actions, and eyes of the main character. The first script, of the six, City of Lost Dreams was written over a year two years ago. .

It is that script, City of Lost Dreams which will be released separately from the rest. Since City of Lost Dreams story is so strong it demands to be heard in its own right. It is slated to be between 15 and 20 minutes by itself and deals with a woman who is the victim of Murphy’s Law.

The other 5 will be released with the first movie and edited together to showcase the entire Dreams of an Insomniac story. The scripts where written in such a way that they could be viewed separately, almost like the Animatrix, except when you watch them together there is a story that joins them all seamlessly.

The story of Dreams of an Insomniac is as follows: essentially Dante rediscovers things about his past that haunt him and they are beginning to take a toll on his present and future. His dreams and his waking hours cause him such restlessness that he can’t sleep. As a result he dreams wide awake and some of his nightmares have merged into his day to day life. He must decode it all in order to move forward or forever be trapped in his dreams.
It’s because of these overreaching story arches that will make Dreams of an Insomniac unique, that in addition to it being a mix between psychological drama and thriller.
