History of Dream to Movie Technology
With an originality vacuum in Hollywood, people are sick of the prequels, sequels and remakes being churned out. However, a new medium of visual entertainment debuts: Dream recording and production. Genevieve, the top dreamer in the country, tries to get out of the business, only to find herself more entrenched in the history of dream to film than she could have ever imagined. Working for the largest dream production company, Mirrem Studios, she finds her waking life manipulated to ensure the quality and consistency of her dreams. Dealing with the jealousy of fellow dreamers, her relationship with Chip, a Romance dreamer for a competing independent dream producer, and the demands of her maniacal editor Corin is just the beginning. Sometimes dreaming for a living can be a nightmare.
Industry wars
Mirrem Productions
Bent on exploiting its dreamers for everything they are worth, Mirrem dominates the D2M business by selling both the waking states and dream content of its stars.
CEO Corin Calway is known to be a vicious, unforgiving producer and editor willing to sacrifice his dreamers for the bigger picture. MIRREM DREAMERS
Genevieve: Multi
Genevieve is the top dreamer in the world. She has been trying to escape the business for years, but is held under contract by Corin and Mirrem Studio executives because her dreams are unlike anything ever seen before. They are a phenomena.
She is in a complicated relationship with Sharez Studios' romance dreamer Chip. While Chip used to be a recurring figure in her dreams, he has recently been absent, leading many to believe he is being edited out. Belle: Horror
Belle's dreams are the most gore-filled content on the market. She was charged with manslaughter as a teenager and spent a half-decade in a correctional facility.
She has been arrested a half dozen times, but continues to make parole utilizing Corin's connections. Belle relishes her insanity and doesn't hesitate to flaunt her instability. Rumor has it, she is intimately tied to her producer, Corin Calway. Pete: Sci-Fi
Pete doesn't release many dreams, but those that he does have prophetic elements. He suffers from multiple disorders, including being both bi-polar and border-line schizophrenic.
With doctorate in bio-engineering, Pete has been forced to do some morally questionable acts for his boss in the name of "good dreaming". He rarely socializes, but has a soft spot for Genevieve. |
Sharez Studios
Sharez takes a different approach to dream production. They concentrate on story and character development.
Instead of packaging a single dream, Sharez is known to edit multiple dreams of its sleepers to make more well rounded products. CEO Brian Sharez has won more Dream2Movie awards than any other dream producer and is heralded for his masterful cuts and narrative construction. SHAREZ DREAMERS
Chip: Romance
Chip is the number one romance dreamer in the country. Romance dreamers are the most prevalent of all genre dreamers, so he is always very anxious about his place in the dream-game.
He is the son of Sharez Studios founder Brian Sharez and many argue his popularity directly correlates to Genevieve appearing in the majority of his dreams. His relationship with Genevieve in real life is especially tense now that she has stopped dreaming about him. Taryn: Comedy
Taryn's comedic dreams are some of the most widely quoted and adored in the country. She is known for taking on multiple personas in her dreams and many call her the "Woman of 1000 faces".
She has worked for many of the dream companies throughout her career and never signs contracts for longer than a year or two. Her wiliness is part of her mass appeal. |
