Dreaming of You

Dreaming of You is a beautiful, emotionally resonant triumph that stays with you long after the credits roll. Anchored by a stunning performance from Lauren LaVera, this film doesn't just tell a story-it invites you into a waking dream where love, grief, memory, and imagination entwine in a way that feels both surreal and deeply, achingly human. Jack McCafferty has crafted a story that feels personal yet universal, delicate yet unflinching. His writing is lyrical, cinematic, and precise, every line loaded with quiet weight.

Dreaming of You is the kind of film that reminds you why we go to the movies in the first place-not just to be entertained, but to feel something real. It's a cinematic lullaby for the brokenhearted and a masterclass in storytelling. Don't miss it.

Saw this at a film festival in LA and really enjoyed it. I went with some friends and definitely am not a "movie buff", but I really enjoyed this. Hit some relatable topics about life in general and found myself laughing quite a bit. If you're expecting some big budget film with incredible city and skyline shots, you will be disappointed.

I enjoy a good "can the guy get the girl" and this was probably the most "independent" type films of that category I have seen. The Q&A after the premiere was great, you can tell they really enjoyed making the film and just wanted to people to see it! Definitely recommend!

Just watched Dreaming of You and I'm genuinely impressed. Jack McCafferty absolutely nails it-funny, heartfelt, and super creative. The chemistry between him and Lauren LaVera felt so natural, and the way the film blends quirky dream sequences with real emotional moments totally worked for me. The animation was simple but really effective, and gave the whole thing a unique charm. It's rare to see an indie film that feels this personal and polished. Honestly, I didn't expect to relate so hard to a movie about a guy in a sleep study, but here we are. Highly recommend!

Great performance from Lauren Lavera!

This movie was a personal favorite of mine this past year, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes romance or comedy or animation or drama or indie movies. The leads both give heartening performances that make you believe you are watching two sleep deprived folks find love. The actor playing the friend was also a standout performer in his limited run, he constantly had me laughing.

I wish I could see what this movie would look like with a full budget, because I have trust that this film crew would have absolutely crushed it. I look forward to more work from these actors and from the whole cast and crew.

I absolutely loved this. It's so incredibly sweet and charming. There's this layer of loving and forgiving yourself for whatever faults you believe you have that I think just about anyone can relate to. I think it's also an example of how difficult it is to attempt to love someone before you love yourself. The chemistry between the two leads, Lauren LaVera and Jack McCafferty is adorable.

Jack was also impressive considering he wrote, directed, and produced the film. I hope he gets all the flowers he deserves.

Also side note, if this movie catches more eyeballs, I expect smores Pop Tarts sales to skyrocket.
