"Dreams on Spec" takes an intimate look at how far people will go - and how much they will sacrifice - for the chance to pursue their dreams. This feature-length documentary delves into the lives of three aspiring Hollywood screenwriters as they pour their hearts into their spec scripts, pitch their ideas to anyone who will listen, go to meetings, hold table reads, and work at low-level day-jobs - all in the hopes of one day seeing one of their beloved creations made into a movie. These poignant portraits are intercut with wisdom from a "Greek Chorus" of superstar Hollywood creative-types like James L. Brooks, Nora Ephron, Gary Ross, and Carrie Fisher to forge a funny and compelling look at inspiration, creativity, and solitude in the movie industry.

| User ReviewMichael BI loved this documentary! Dreams on Spec felt like a true journey following these three screenwriters that were trying to make their raw creative ideas come to life. My heart went out to all three of them, going through life as a creative person it is very hard to sustain a safe and secure living. All I can really say is that I do hope that all of them do continue writing and sharing the stories that are born in their imaginations. And I will say pizza is usually the answer to many creative problems. |
| User ReviewBrandon BA somewhat depressing look at the plight of the aspiring screenwriter. |
| User ReviewEmanuel VA thoughtful expose on the life of a screenwriter. It depicts the successful, the newly successful, the wannabees and those who try and fail. Makes me, now more than ever, want to produce my own stuff because that way you 1) know it'll get done and 2) won't get changed by someone who doesn't respect my vision. Gotta wonder where was Buddah when his disciple was failing at her career? |
| User ReviewRobert KA nice balance between real and aspiring writers. |
| User ReviewJenn TCould be interesting but is basically just boring. |
