An evocative documentary about the creative genius Eugen Semitjov (1923-1987) and his fascinating background. Eugen was a celebrity in his time, a successful and innovative comic book artist, reporter, author, and illustrator, specializing in the subject of outer space.

The documentary unfolds along two parallel time-lines: the future, where we get to witness a grand space vision created by Eugen, and the past, which begins with his father, Vladimir, struggling to survive as a refugee in a foreign country: Sweden.

It is a thought-provoking cinematic tapestry that spans beyond time and space, reflecting the struggles and creativity of two generations against humanity's greatest adventure ever: the conquest of space.

In 1923, the Semitjov family arrived in Sweden as refugees from the Soviet Union, without food or money. Father Vladimir, his heavily pregnant wife, their two sons, and his elderly mother came to Stockholm, where the third son, Eugen, was born later that year. Swedish culture would later receive a significant boost from this immigrant family!

The father Vladimir Semitjov became an incredibly productive and appreciated short story writer, as well as the most significant Swedish science fiction author of the interwar period. He also helped Mauritz Stiller ignite one of the biggest movie stars of all time: Greta Garbo!

The eldest son, Volodja Semitjov, served as a war correspondent during World War II and later became a successful screenwriter. He wrote, among other works, the script for the Swedish feature film that has been watched by the most people globally in history: "One Summer Of Happiness" (1951), the film that coined the term "Swedish sin."

The youngest son, Eugen Semitjov, created the science fiction comic strip "Allan Kämpe" in 1942, which remains the most-read Swedish adventure strip internationally. He then transitioned to space reporting and traveled many times around the world. He interviewed astronauts, cosmonauts, and space researchers; he visited rocket bases, research laboratories, and observatories - experiences that resulted in numerous original, imaginative, and visionary newspaper articles, books, and even TV programs. In 1972, Eugen was awarded the prestigious "Stora Journalistpriset" (Great Journalist Prize) in Sweden.

Filmmaker Micke Engström has created a multifaceted feature-length documentary about Eugen Semitjov, one of his childhood idols. He previously made a documentary about the horror artist Hans Arnold, another source of inspiration from his childhood ("Hans Arnold - Penselns Häxmästare," 2019).

In "Semitjov - Dreams for a Better World" several well-known voices participate, including Stina Ekblad (Fanny and Alexander), Shebly Niavarani (Real Humans), Per Ragnar (Let the Right One In), Tomas Laustiola (Hassel), and Nina Stemme (who has been named the world's best opera singer multiple times).

As a kid, Brandon began his career as a DJ playing parties for adults around town and selling mix tapes he made in his basement, the year was 1978 and he was only two years old.

Over the decades, DJ Brand New became an upstate New York legend and beloved member of his community establishing a music production studio and radio station and organizing community events.

Brand New continued to entertain at parties and events even when faced with unfathomable personal loss and tragedy including a lengthy battle with sarcoma cancer that ultimately claimed his life during the making of this film.

We are honored to help share the story of this grand incredible man with the world and hope that this film will make sure he, and his many contributions to the community, and the music industry will never ever be forgotten.

The true story of a small town kid who dreamed of building America’s first Supercar.
Gerald Wiegert grew up in a small town in Michigan. After attending art schools and college he moves to California
and proceeds to chase his dream of designing and building a "supercar" to compete against the European exotics such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.
He uses his artistic skills and power of persuasion to entice others to help him build his dream car and to "invest" in his vision of an American built supercar. His journey to chase his dream includes Sultans, celebrities, dictators, drug cartels and influential people from around the globe and around the cultural spectrum.
Like a modern day "PT Barnum" Gerald Wiegert manipulates enough "believers" to achieve his goal of building his Vector car company. After appearing on the cover of every car magazine in the world and building roughly 20 cars Wiegert gets kicked out of his own company like Steve Jobs was.
In a true life "Tucker" meets "The Wolf of Wall Street" this story of chasing your dreams at any price not only inspires but gives the audience a real perspective on what it takes to succeed and what price some are willing to pay.
The many layers of story telling examine not only what it takes to follow your dreams, but also the toll it takes on a dreamer's relationships from business partners to fathers and sons.
Should we chase our dreams?
Should we meet our heroes?
Watch and decide for yourself......
