San Francisco Treat: Michel Franco Dreams of the West Coast with “Dos Lados”

Date:

Location, Location, Location. After the affluent neighbourhood somewhere in Mexico with New Order, the wasteland of Acapulco with Sundown and more recently, the New York City scapes in the Venice-tipped Memory, it appears that Michel Franco might be setting up shop in San Francisco for a project titled Dreams (aka Dos Lados – direct translation: On the Sides). Producer Eréndira Núñez Larios and Yves Cape would re-team with Franco on what is a micro project with no-name actors.

The project was once said to see Franco work with Jessica Chastain again – but that rumor was put to rest and it would be impossible if the project were to get greenlit. At this point we don’t know if this would be a false start, if this is a smaller scale project or if it is way too early but Production Weekly originally had this set as a July production start date. We’ll likely get updates around the time of Venice. Update: Production began July 24th and lasts until August 14th.
