HOW TO STOP A RECURRING DREAM is produced by Polly du Plessis, with TV and radio presenter Edith Bowman as executive producer. Exploring themes of separation and loss, this dreamy trip takes place over a weekend in the lives of two sisters whose relationship is being tested to its limit. After Mum and Dad announce an imminent, split- custody separation, Yakira – the oldest daughter – kidnaps her younger sister and takes to the road, in an attempt to reconnect before they part.

The film’s lead, Ruby Barker, has recently become a breakout star following the huge success of Netflix’s Bridgerton. Writer-director Ed Morris is director of commercials and music videos for such bands as Massive Attack, and is best-known for the now-banned documentary This Is Not – An Interview with Tony Kaye, an intimate conversation with the American History X director, whose eccentric stunts while working in Hollywood earned him a reputation for controversy within the studio system.
