Since its release in 2011 Dreams Awake has gone on to win 17 film awards out of 20 film festivals including Best Spiritual Film and also Best Actress (Erin Gray) at the Monaco Film Festival. It was the first feature film shot in the Mt. Shasta area, which is well-known for the mysterious tales that surround this awe-inspiring peak in northern California. From the Native American legends, to the numerous UFO sightings, to stories of strange lights and sounds emanating from the mountain, and to scores of spiritual seekers who trek here each year, the storytelling setting for “Dreams Awake” seems quite appropriate.
