Dreams on Spec is a 2007 English-language Documentary film directed by Daniel J. Snyder and produced by Daniel J. Snyder and Gary Edgren. Dreams on Spec takes an intimate look at how far people will go - and how much they will sacrifice - for the chance to pursue their dreams.

Brooks, Nora Ephron, Gary Ross, and Carrie Fisher to forge a funny and compelling look at inspiration, creativity, and solitude in the movie industry. Written by Anonymous.
