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.
