Dreams: A Brainstorm Productions Anthology

The neurodiverse team of artists and animators at Brainstorm Productions rallied around nine of their own to create an animated short-film anthology. These films were created based on each artist’s unique interpretation of “dreams”. All nine animated shorts were produced entirely in-house at our studio in Torrance, California.

Our “dream team” invites you into their fantasy worlds of daydreams and nightmares, flights of fancy, and deepest wishes. Prepare to be transported to worlds near and far, from magical food fights and giant robots, to heartfelt tales of the daily grind.
