If you are reading this, get ready to meet me in your dream TONIGHT

The film was an attempt to translate the direct address of live performance to a lock-down art TV format. It was effective, in that 14 people contacted me after watching to tell me I had appeared in their dream. If a performance can be thought of as an act of appearing to an audience, then this film can be thought of as a tool which facilitates a performance.
