Once in a while, Ronald takes part in a created reality with fancy dinners and costume galas in castles. In Dream King, Ronald's youthful dreams of money, power and allure briefly become real. Reality or fiction; where does one end and the other start?

Director Wendy Oakes (1983, The Netherlands) received the Encouragement Prize from Stroom Den Haag in 2012 as a result of her graduation film Dream King. She was educated at the Amsterdam School of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. In her work, Oakes takes as her starting point a reality that is strange for her, in which she touches on unreality.

Dream King was screened during IFFR 2013 and is part of IFFR presents, a weekly series of short films on YouTube.
