For Alex Woo, the director behind In Your Dreams, the story is relatable to his own experiences.
In this latest Netflix animated movie, “a pair of young siblings as they navigate a fantastical dream world, seeking the mythical Sandman in hopes that he can fix their family.”
“When I was 6 or 7 years old, I woke up one morning and my mom had her bags packed,” says the filmmaker, in an interview with Variety.
He recalls, “She was at the front door, and I had no idea what was going on. She had to gently explain to me and my brother that she was going away to figure out things for our family. I didn’t really know what that meant, but I knew things were about to change.”
In Your Dreams is streaming on Netflix.
