Men Too, Hurt

Dreamer is a serialized series that will arouse your inner artiste, forcing you to think outside the box and toward more grandeur of thought and imagination! This Avant-garde picturization of what it means to be at the cusp of defeat only to manifest your truest potential is a series that tackles some of our deepest demons: race, class, sexuality, abuse, and trauma, plus many esoteric ideas. Through this compelling rock musical docu-drama, we will be introduced to one man’s journey from tragedy to triumph and what it means to stare death in the eye only to come out on the other side.
We begin with the visual of Dreamer lying on his deathbed in the sterile, morose palliative ward. From there, we are transported into his state of delusion and despair, as Dreamer replays the events that informed his most painful memories. We meet an elusive character who preys upon the vulnerabilities of a young, impressionable, and vulnerable Dreamer. We have recounted the despondencies and overwhelming horrors that render Dreamer paralyzed by misfortune. And then, in the blink of an eye, we’re met with his manifestation of true self-awakening as we see current-day Dreamer – a man fully realized and foreshadowing a journey to awareness and subconscious.
Through the abstraction of color, symbols, powerful rock music, and select narration, we are informed of what it means to be a Dreamer.
We invite you to join us in spreading the message of hope, inspiration, and advocacy. In our mission to bring about greater awareness of HIV/AIDS apathy and the systemic issues that have long facilitated this global health crisis, we present ‘DREAMER.’
Dreamer is a rock musical docu-drama TV series that forecasts the life of Timothy Bartsch – a young man who contracted HIV from his professor. Through this poignant, melodic, Avant-garde conceptualization, we are introduced to the tragedies and triumphs of one man in pursuit of his dreams.
In examining how this story unfolds, we are introduced to various issues of global and societal concern. We hope this series will take you to the world of consciousness and greater self and collective awareness.
Of paramount importance is stomping out the stigma associated with survivors of sexual abuse and trauma. Men who face abuse are less likely to report their experiences, in large part because of the hegemonic views of toxic masculinity that shun male victims. We wish to align ourselves with various aid organizations that further promote health, well-being, and justice for survivors, irrespective of gender.
