42nd Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival – APRIL 13-27, 2023

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.
