“Daydream Nation” is the debut feature film of Mike Goldbach, a Canadian filmmaker known for co-writing Don McKellar’s second feature film, “Childstar.” Starring Kat Dennings, Reece Thompson, Andie MacDowell and Josh Lucas, the somwhat scatterbrained story follows a disaffected high school senior (Dennings) who has an affair with a teacher (Lucas), and her relationship with a teenage junkie. Also, there is a serial killer on the loose…..what? You can read the full synopsis here.
Anyway, that might explain the sort of fractured nature of the trailer below. We hope the final product isn’t as messy as the synopsis sounds and at the very least the film does promise to have some decent music. The first track you hear is Beach House’s excellent “A Walk In The Park,” while the latter is Metric’s Emily Haines’ cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “Expecting To Fly.”
“Daydream Nation” doesn’t have a release date yet or a distributor, but that should change after it debuts at TIFF next month. [Collider/TwentyFourBit]
