How to Stop a Recurring Dream is an independent film written and directed by Ed Morris

‘Written and directed by’ is something most directors hope to see in front of their names at some stage in their careers. With the statement ‘8 official selections’ being an added bonus.

All of the above applies to Ed Morris’s debut independent feature film How To Stop A Recurring Dream Exploring themes of separation and loss, the drama takes place over a weekend in the lives of two sisters; Yakira and Kelly. An imminent family separation and split custody arrangement forces Yakira to kidnap her estranged little sister in an attempt to reconnect before they part.

Currently doing the international festival circuit, on November 6 the film will have its UK festival premier as part of Aesthetica Festival’s 2020 programme, before launching (just casually) on Amazon and the likes in January 2021. Follow your dreams kids – but perhaps not if they’re the recurring kind.
