Dreamin’ Wild: A Must-See for Fans of Indie Biopics and Music Movies

Dreamin’ Wild is an American biographical drama film set in the 1970s in the small town of Fruitland, Washington.

It follows the life of singer-musician brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson. 

The Emerson brothers recorded an album together in 1979 when they were teenagers.

Their album was never released, but it was rediscovered three decades later and hailed as a lost masterpiece.

The film follows the brothers as they try to capitalize on their newfound fame, while also dealing with the personal and professional challenges that come with it.

Dreamin’ Wild is a heartwarming and inspiring film about the power of music, the importance of family, and the never-ending pursuit of dreams.

It features a great cast, beautiful cinematography, and a fun soundtrack that takes me right back to my childhood in the 1970s.

The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on August 4, 2023, so make plans to see it now.

If you’re a fan of music movies, biopics, or heartwarming stories, then you won’t want to miss Dreamin’ Wild.

Synopsis

Dreamin’ Wild, the true story of love and redemption, is about what happened to singer/songwriter Donnie Emerson and his family when the album he and his brother recorded as teens was rediscovered after thirty years of obscurity and was suddenly hailed by music critics as a lost masterpiece.

While the album’s rediscovery brings hopes of second chances, it also brings long-buried emotions as Donnie, his wife Nancy, brother Joe, and father Don Sr. come to terms with the past and their newly found fame.
