Dreams was shot on location in the Imperial
Courts projects outside Los Angeles, Imperial Dreams is a gangster fairy tale
about a father's struggle to build a better life for his son.

De'aundre Bonds, Keke Palmer, Sufe Bradshaw, Todd Louiso, Nora Zehetner, Maximiliano
Hernández, and Jernard Burks.
Bambi (John Boyega)
wants to publish his credos and chronicles and start his career the way any
other normal young writer would. For Bambi, however, normal is the quandary.
“Normal” means returning to Watts, Los Angeles, after a 28-month jail stint to
find his young son playing next to his strung-out grandmother. It’s normal for
the patriarch of his family to offer Bambi pills, guns, and a drug-running job
as a way to welcome him home. A normal visit from his cousin involves Bambi and
son performing minor surgery to extract a bullet from his arm. Bambi meets this
surreal, ghetto normal with equanimity, but he knows life can’t be “normal”
like this for long.
