Dreams on Fire

On paper, this sounds absolutely awful...it's not! Not in the slightest. In fact, it's pretty damn good.

This ain't no rag-to-riches, X-factor, polite Japanese tale...this is - like all subcultures - a subculture that exists within/underneath the grim and grimy reality that modern-day society actually is. Sex sells. Money talks. Power corrupts. Poverty does not always suppress!

Talent, coupled with passion and confidence...is a powerful combination...alas, it's not always the golden key to success. YouTube has managed to blur the line between talent and confidence...these are the dreaded, talentless, overly-confident 'influencers' who litter every red carpet event...with their begging publicists [on tow] begging you to take their ego-inflated photo - for others to misguidedly devour.

Here, these are kids with talent. They own their talent. Because, it's their way of life...led and dictated for and by themselves.

There are many kinds of triumph, aka personal successes...they can be global, regional...or, just personal. It all depends on how you view the world...and, how you want the - rapidly diminishing - world to view you. No matter...when you have genuine talent...you can always rise...internally.

This is a film immersed in talent. Well done Mr McKie.
