Dan Schoenbrun’s film “collective:unconscious” is an omnibus film like no one has ever seen before. In 2014, Schoenbrun asked five filmmakers to adapt each other’s dreams for the screen. What began as a quick five-part web series evolved into one of the most original debut features of 2016. Now, the film will be available to the public to download for free exclusively on BitTorrent on August 9th, complete with bonus features, samples of the directors’ previous work, and the original recordings of the dreams they adapted. Watch the trailer for the film below and check out a poster as well.
