The movie, WAKING DREAMS, is a fresh and frothy look at intergenerational conflicts in an Indian-American family.  Set against the backdrops of video games and Bollywood fantasies, this family comedy explores the hopes and aspirations of a diverse group of characters in a small West Texas town.

Latha Kumar, a recent college grad, is stuck in a rut.  To the supreme consternation of her parents, she didn't get into medical school.  She can't commit to a career.  And worst of all, she's painfully single.  She spends her days watching old Telugu movies starring her favorite actress, Jayapradha.  Inspired by these glossy melodramas, Latha uses her imagination to escape into quirky fantasies, starring herself as the heroine extraordinaire.

When Latha's strict doctor father threatens to kick her out of the house, Latha agrees to interview for a job at a new software company.  Expecting a dull I.T. office, Latha finds that the company is actually a video game developer -- a colorful and quirky world of overgrown children.

At work, Latha befriends a good-natured co-worker named Colin, while she openly pines for Ashwin -- a hotshot game designer.  Meanwhile, her condescending supervisor Rebecca takes every opportunity to embarrass and undermine Latha. 

As Latha settles into her job, she finds something she's never known before: passion, purpose and her own voice. But is it too late? When her father attempts to bend her to his will, what will give first: Latha's resolve or the family's secrets?

A whimsical comedy with plenty of heart, WAKING DREAMS finds magic in the most unexpected places.
