Synopsis

What if a childhood dream suddenly came true—but thirty years later? That’s what happened to singer/songwriter Donnie Emerson. His dream of success suddenly—and unexpectedly—came true but only as he approached 50 years old. And while it brought hopes of second chances, it also brought ghosts of the past and long-buried emotions as Donnie, his brother Joe and their entire family came to terms with their newly found fame. Dreamin’ Wild is an incredible true story of love, hope, family, guilt, and responsibility.

Director’s Statement

Donnie Emerson’s story is one of love, loyalty, second chances and the possibility of dreams coming true. But it’s also about pain, regret, and the complications that dreams may bring. Dreamin’ Wild has a quiet simplicity. It explores faith and family, guilt and responsibility. Ultimately, it’s about healing, and we need that in our world more than ever right now. That’s why I was drawn to this story. And the heart of the movie is the music. Baby was on loop in my head while I was writing, and that song’s soulfulness and raw passion permeates the movie. There is a sense of magic running through this story. You can hear it echoing through Baby. And you will feel it throughout Dreamin’ Wild.
