"Alternative"

Daydreamer's current project is a feature length film called "Alternative". Shooting began in June 2002 with the final shoot completed in January 2003. The film will premiere in 2003, but the exact date has not yet been determined.

Part drama, part comedy, and part romance, "Alternative" details the confusing and sometimes surreal minefield that is life after high school. It is a time we are all familiar with, when we are no longer teens but not quite adults. When we are torn between the demands of the real world and the quest for personal discovery.
