Overview
"Dream Factory is a feature-length, hybrid documentary following the "below-the-line" crew of a big-budget Bollywood film. A meditation on the intensely physicial, yet invisible, labor behind India's most popular art form, it is also a personal essay on the magic and contradictions that are the Indian film industry. Borrowing Bollywood's grammar to tell the stories of its most invisible workers, the film delves into the power of storytelling, and raises questions about the price that must be paid to manufacture dreams for a billion people - and who pays that price." -- Abstract
