About

In 2007, the dynamic husband and wife filmmaker duo of Bayou Bennett and Daniel Lir founded Dream Team Directors. Their vision was to combine imagination, humor, beauty and a desire to positively impact the world through their stunning creative work.

Their company motto, "Let our dream team manifest your dream", symbolizes the expansion and positive attention they win for their celebrity and high-profile brand clients such as Adidas, Atlantic Records, Smashbox Cosmetics and Chrome Hearts.

They have had the opportunity to collaborate, direct and produce with great talents such as Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo, Golden Globe nominee Anthony Mackie, Lea Michele of Fox's "Glee"and "Scream Queens", Coldplay, P. Diddy, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Stirling and top model, Bella Hadid.

They have recently won two Telly Awards as well as 15 other awards in national and international film festivals.

(Feature Film)

A nerdy physics genius who's obsessed with his only goal of becoming an astronaut and traveling to space is assigned to tutor a beautiful, sexy and impulsive girl named Lara.
