Living Water

A short film by Gary Goldberger, Lara Hannay, and Peter H. Reynolds.

After awakening from a recurring nightmare, Luanda, a Black woman and single mother, finds her day pierced by painful memories that insist on resurfacing. A seemingly simple, intimate unease draws her back into recollections of a past shaped by poverty and sorrow. As she confronts these ghosts, Luanda revisits the experiences that forged her path and reveal the strength of the woman she has become.

Having fallen into a coma following a car accident at 14, Yutaka wakes ten years later and realizes that his family is no longer intact: father, mother and sister live at different places, so he decides to reopen the farm that his family once ran.

Alan and Thomas are bored by their lives. One is a geologist, but works at a university, where the director refuses to finance his once-in-a-lifetime Alaska mission. The other directs a TV talk show that's about to be canceled. They both need a change. They had a dream in common, and their lives will bump one into each other. Dreaming Alaska is a story about dreams put away in a drawer too many times, but those dreams are what defines ones personality, just for having tried to pursue them. A film about love...freedom...friendship...LIFE. Maybe your Alaska is waiting just around the corner. Stop dreaming, start living with this feel good "zero budget" fresh comedy filled with music!
