THE JOURNEY WITHIN.

​

A YOUNG ADDICT IS CONVINCED BY HIS BEST FRIEND TO TRAIN-HOP ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IN SEARCH FOR THE BURIED TREASURE THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT WHEN THEY WERE KIDS. ONE IS SELF DESTRUCTIVE AND THE OTHER IS BLIND, NEITHER OF THEM EXPECTED A SMALL TOWN DRIFTER TO LEAD THE WAY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ONLY WAY TO GO, IS WITHIN.

​

THE AMERICAN DREAMLESS IS TANNER MATTHEWS' DIRECTORIAL DEBUT, AND THE FIRST FILM TO BE SHOT IN ALL FIFTY US STATES.

​

TANNER MATTHEWS IS AN AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKER, PUBLISHED PHOTOGRAPHER AND ARTIST. HIS WORK HAS GARNERED INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND HE HAS PRODUCED CONTENT IN OVER FIFTEEN COUNTRIES, SEEN BY MILLIONS. HIS PASSION FOR FILMMAKING DERIVES FROM IT'S ABILITY TO INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, AND STIMULATE PEOPLE WITH INNOVATIVE THOUGHTS AND FRESH EXPERIENCES. HIS FILMS TEND TO EXPLORE ADVERSE AND OPAQUE THEMES IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE CLARITY, AROUSE AWARENESS AND SHED LIGHT ON SUBJECTS THAT ARE OFTEN FOUND IN THE SHADOWS. 

"FOR ME, FILMS ARE NOT ONLY AN AVENUE FOR ENTERTAINMENT, BUT ALSO A CONDUIT FOR PROGRESSIVE THINKING, ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONISM AND ULTIMATELY, EARNEST REFLECTION..."
