Zen Dog

Mud runs a struggling virtual reality startup that promises to transport users to exotic locations from the comfort of their homes. During the day, he feels trapped in his daily routine, but at night he is plagued by recurring nightmares of a stranger's suicide. When his eccentric cousin Dwayne shows up at his doorstep, he is introduced to the power of lucid dreaming, and begins to dreams himself across America on a road trip in a psychedelic Volkswagen. It's a journey filled with revelation and colorful characters. However, it's not long before Mud realizes he's discovering more than he bargained for. (Newport Beach International Film Festival)
