Dreamin’ Wild
In their teens, the Emerson brothers, Donnie (Casey Affleck) & Joe (Walton Goggins), produced their own album, “Dreamin’ Wild”, that went absolutely nowhere. Then, 30 years later, their album becomes an internet sensation & a promoter pays them a visit igniting some excitement in the Emerson households. Singer/songwriter Donnie has stayed in the music business but with little success. This renewed interest in his musical talent dredges up much emotional baggage associated his passion for music as well as his feelings towards his family. Beau Bridges plays the dad & Zooey Deschanel plays the wife. This musical drama about love & redemption is based on a true story & features a tune be the real Emerson brothers at the end of the film.
