Alex Prager Feature Film “DreamQuil” To Premiere At SXSW

We are proud to announce that Alex Prager’s debut feature, “DreamQuil,” starring Elizabeth Banks and John C. Reilly, is set to make its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival. Produced by Republic Pictures, Brownstone, & Patriot Films in association with Arts & Sciences, “DreamQuil” is set to make its debut on March 16th!

Set in the not so distant future when poor air quality leads to people living mostly virtually lives. Carol is a dissatisfied career mother, struggling to find connection within her marriage to Gary and her child. With the day to day familiarity of their home and lives feeling increasingly claustrophobic, and worried she could be heading towards divorce, Carol leaps at the chance to get her life back on track by signing up for "DreamQuil", an avant-garde digital wellness retreat. When Carol returns home however, she discovers her family has been living with "Carol 2", a robot the corporation sent designed to help in her absence, and things take a mysterious and sinister turn.
