Sleep & Dreamsleep

Sleep was completed in 2013 after a year's filming in Liverpool and the Wirral peninsula, it was set in a dream world run by Elves and cave-dwelling Vampires. The main plot of Sleep followed a man called Tom who, following the death of his finacé, locates a new love interest in the world of dreams, later teaming up with a colony of forest Elves to fight the dream-Vampires and rescue captured "dreamers" from Vampire leader Daray, played by Nathan Head. This surreal-romantic horror, directed by John Aldridge of Parallax Films, was screened at the Woolton Picture House on September 1st 2013 and a follow-on film called Dreamsleep started production in 2019. Dreamsleep never got finished and only a few scenes were shot with Nathan Head's character hosting a self-help group which helps people understand and control their dreams. In 2020 decision was made to edit down the footage from both feature films into episodes of the Dream State webseries.
