Private Project

Dream Catcher

The protectiveness and concern of a techno-savvy father for his daughter, who would go to any lengths to make sure she never gets hurt in life. Since the characters of all 3 protagonists are in stark contrast to each other, the film's narrative deftly uses science and technology to get into the depths of human psychology, thus, bringing forth myriad sub-conscious realities that affect our behaviour and thought patterns in the subtlest of ways, often finding a vent through abstract projections in our dreams. It also raises and confronts various questions and doubts about human relationships' true nature and their so-called allegiance to what they stand for. The film also has an underlying message for the audience, which is quite relevant to today's times and its kaleidoscopic virtual realities. Free oneself from all that jeopardies love and humanity.
