I Dreamed I Was Naked and The World Turned Upside Down

Donovan Wilson is a new filmmaker who is inspired by the transcendent power of film and its potential for artistic expression. Several years ago he decided to become a filmmaker after watching a film by Akira Kurasawa called “Sanjuro”. Donovan then began a journey of watching so-called “Art House” films which opened his eyes even more to the narrative, documentary, and poetic possibilities of film. Soon after, he purchased an inexpensive camera and began making short films with his family. Over time he has pursued new and more challenging filmmaking goals including participating in a variety of local competitions and financing his own short film made specifically to submit to film festivals around the globe. Producing this film with a professional crew and actors further cemented his desire and illuminated his passion for creating works of art on film. He has dedicated his creative life to learning the art of filmmaking and storytelling and producing impactful works of art. Donovan’s vision is based on the idea that film can express deep meaning beyond the sum of its parts. He is particularly intrigued by the idea of extracting narratives and parallel meanings from documentary-like observational film techniques applied to fictional storytelling. He is interested in observing real life through an actor's expression of a script or story outline.
