Project of the Day: ‘David’s Reverie’

Tweetable Logline: A jazz musician struggles to prevent his epilepsy diagnosis from derailing his emerging career.

Elevator Pitch: DAVID’S REVERIE, starring Brandon Fobbs (“The Wire”, “Walking Dead”), tells the story of an up-and-coming jazz musician whose dream of leading his jazz band to a broader audience is halted when he is diagnosed with epilepsy.

With each seizure, David is transported to a fantasy world where he hears music like he’s never heard before. David fights to reconcile managing this disorder while fighting to play the music inside him.
