"In Dreamstates, Indigo and Spoonie fall in love in a string of embraces and sweet nothings uttered in the closes quarters of a tour bus and deftly illustrated from the vintage of a smartphone, which places de viewer squarely between two lovers at their most vulnerable. Uzeyman later captures the insecurity and alienation that can portend a crumbling relationship. The couple falls out of love in equally intimate but awkward exchanges and pregnant pauses that say much more than either character could about the status of their journey, which fades across a series of avant-garde performances and backstage exchanges that give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the major players in the Afropunk movement. Uzeyman’s weapons of choice reinforce the importance of the left-of-center cultural phenomenon, which has grown beyond the borders of Brooklyn to venues in Atlanta and Paris in recent years."

In her debut feature film, made in collaboration with Saul Williams (SLAM), Anisia Uzeyman’s hypnotic, non-linear storytelling spurs a dreamlike, recursive experience as audiences are taken on an underground journey where myths and reality blur. Experimental visions are built by steadily layering enigmatic black spaces onto hyper saturated colors, a bold approach with an iPhone as the film’s camera.
