The premise
Dreams in Nightmares (2026)
After an abrupt layoff, Z embarks on a trip across the Midwestern United States in search of a friend who has seemingly disappeared off the grid. Traveling with her two closest friends, these three queer black femmes find their priorities tested as shapeshifting threats in each city expose (inter)personal and ideological fractures.
It shares its release window with Mutiny, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
The theatrical release lands August 21, 2026.
