About Dream Racer
Dream Racer is an inspiring account of the fear of life going by unfulfilled and the pursuit of dreams as the antidote to this fear.

Dream Racer has won multiple awards around the globe and has been acclaimed by Mitchell Block, producer of academy award documentary Big Mama as “A COMPELLING, MOVING AND POWERFUL FILM.” Candide McDonald from Australian Creative Magazine dubbed Dream Racer as “THE MOTIVATIONAL FILM OF THE DECADE.”
