a new film project by mark e merrill

THE if I dream PROJECT

In response to Youtube's global call for entries I am pleased to announce "if i dream" a new short video in production that explores the nature of dreams using an experimental narrative created from the responses to various questions I post on my blog: http://ifidreamiseethefuture.blogspot.com

I hope to assemble an etherial pastiche of sound and vision to invoke a sense of dream logic, one that stitches together a narrative speaking to the concerns surrounding our very existence...

As I embark upon this quest I look for contributors of experiences, ideas, images, sounds, and other questions. In the spirit of the great leaders and peaceful warriors of our age John Lennon, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and their visions of hope and peace I pose this question to you!

“What is the DREAM?”

The deadline for all film entries is March 31st. All semi-finalist will be chosen by Youtube viewers around the world! First Prize is $500,000 and a contract with Ridley and Tony Scott of Scott Free Productions.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

-Langston Hughes
