Michael Welch of Twilight Saga and Joan of Arcadia, plays Perry, a privileged, young intellectual battling against his destiny not wanting to follow in his father’s political footsteps. Perry at this challenging crossroads in his life meets Giovanni, played by Shaun Sipos of Melrose Place and The Grudge 2, an artist in search of his own voice. Giovanni represents a side that Perry desires providing a tumultuous friendship inducing a suicidal realm of self-discovery. Together, with the guidance of writer/director Ahmed, these two young actors crafted performances that carried the film through its dramatic highlights.

The original script served as his senior thesis and still reflects the alienation and youthful yearning so many young people experience during this period; all set against the universal themes of political, social, and personal evolution.
Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement, Strong Medicine) also co-stars along with Jeremy London (Mallrats, 7th Heaven, Party of Five) and Aisha Hinds (Mr. Brooks, HBO’s True Blood).
Lost Dream has been selected by he following film festivals: NewFilmmakers LA, SoCal Independent, Tucson Film & Music Festival and the International Film Festival of India.
