Call The Sandman

Set in a boring and bureaucratic version of NYC, Izumi and Alex go about their mundane existences while quietly refusing to give into mandates of the new dystopian society – namely undergoing a surgical treatment that renders the brain incapable of dreaming.

Directed by Lou Blackmon, Call The Sandman leans on a strong ensemble — Lenny Thomas, Momo Judy Ave, Lou Blackmon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2020.
