The Story
Strapped and chained to an antique metal chair, Ava awakens in a dingy room flooded in red light. The room is filled with gas that prevents her from falling asleep. Suddenly a holographic video appears in front of her with images of dead human bodies. When the horrific hologram finishes, a man, who appears to be a doctor enters the room. The man quietly begins injecting Ava with a strange yellow substance. Similar sequences of events continue and as Ava moves further down the rabbit hole, reality begins to elude her as she realizes that the "doctor" may not be her biggest concern.
"I've always wanted to create something that pushes the limits of what I'm used to doing visually without losing the heart and soul of the story and the characters. I think that I've accomplished that in this film." -Terrell Lamont
Infrared Dreams is a genre-bending film that heavily relies on elements of sci-fi, thriller, and horror but doesn't skimp on the emotional components that compel our audience to fully engage with the story.

WHERE DOES YOUR CONTRIBUTION GO?
The film is "in the can" meaning that we have completed production and have all the necessary footage to finish the film. We are currently in the post-production stage where all the magic happens. The remaining items in this process include color grading, visual effects, and sound design. Your contributions will go towards these services.
STRETCH GOALS
Our $8,500 goal is the bare minimum needed to complete post-production and have a finished film.
If we raise $10,000 we will be able to cover festival submission fees.
If we raise $12,000 we will be able to send members of our team to select festivals to properly represent the film. This is important because films with representation at the festivals have greater opportunities to further the success of the film.
If we raise $15,000 we will be able to send members of our team to the American Film Market in a continued effort to find the best distribution deals for this movie.
We would love to give this film an opportunity to continue to grow our audience and find viable distribution, but that takes additional resources. With the help of our supporters, we will give Infrared Dreams the best chance possible to find success in the marketplace.
