A funny and biting look at those who dream Hollywood dreams, 15 February 1999
10/10
Author: anonymous from Maryland

This film is about as self-reflexive as you can get: an indie film about making indie films. Midwesterner Dave follows his more street-wise friend Ethan to Hollywood with the intention of making it big as filmmakers. But it's not all fun and games in La-la land, as Dave comes to find out. Jordan and Ballou give excellent performances as Dave and Ethan, respectively. Dreamers is independent filmmaking at its best.
