Elizabeth Banks
Alex Prager's debut feature DreamQuil, starring Elizabeth Banks and John C. Reilly, premiered in the Narrative Spotlight section at SXSW on March 16, 2026. The satirical sci-fi soap opera explores themes of data mining, wellness schemes, AI, and domestic life in a retro-futuristic world plagued by air pollution. Reviews praise its design but note it falls short of thematic cohesion.
