After a successful festival run last year, Sneak Attack’s debut feature, the coming of age romance Dreamworld, is being distributed by Interactor Media and will be available for online streaming as well as on Blu-Ray this June. The film centers around the story of an animator, Oliver Hayes, and the captivating and impulsive new love in his life, Lily Blush – and their journey from Los Angeles to Northern California to fulfill his fantasy of working for Pixar Animation Studio. It stars Hertford (co-writer, producer, Raising Hope, Glee, Jurassic Park) and Sneak Attack faithfuls, Matt Jones (Breaking Bad), Nora Kirkpatrick (The Office; member of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes), stand-up Johnny Pemberton (The New Girl, In the Loop, It’s Always Sunny…), as well as Matt Bush (Adventureland), Nick Thune (Burning Love), Allan McLeod, Lauren Lapkus and features a break-through performance by the whimsical Mary Kate Wiles (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Squaresville).

“…Using deftly improvised dialogue, ‘Dreamworld’ features an intimate view of the painful distinctions to be made between dreams and reality.” – Ashland Independent Film Festival

“The performances were great – An amazing ensemble cast gives the script the right balance of dreaminess and weight.

…Hertford has a great face for wounded sincerity …

…Wiles turns a stereotype into an archetype ….

….manages to bring losers of epic proportion together and make us want them to triumph through all that they do to each other and themselves.” – Florida Film Festival

“Hertford and Wiles are charming and the chemistry radiates on screen” – Newport Beach Film Festival.

The Blu-Ray content includes: commentary track by director / cinematographer Ryan Darst & screenwriter / producer Whit Hertford; an entire zero chapter Tumblr dedicated to the backstory / pre-meeting posts of Oliver + Lily; set photos + artwork and the obligatory outakes reel (which features actor Allan McLeod’s omitted masterclass of improvisational gems). Additionally, three of Sneak Attack’s previous short films, entitled “The Roguemances” are included.

The film’s fantastic soundtrack composed by Pleasant Pictures can be downloaded on iTunes.

Online streaming details soon…

Currently Darst & Hertford are in post-production on their next two short films: Norman Reed, a fantasy that explores the claustrophobic and disorienting nature of the afterlife and stars esteemed comedian Brian Huskey (Children’s Hospital) in a remarkabe dramatic turn; and The Caper Kind: Swiss Mistake, a bizarre heist adventure that follows a lo-fi band of do-gooders. It stars Hertford, Kirkpatrick, Pemberton, the charmingly sincere Jon Heder, Brandon Quinn and a veritable who’s who of underground comedians including Kyle Mooney and Arden Myrin.

Later this year they will begin principal photography on their follow-up feature, Wildlife, a comedy noir, set in the world of trailer parks in the California desert. David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight, the upcoming Prisoners) and Joe Hursley (Pain & Gain) are attached to co-star.
