About

You can watch Dream for an Insomniac (1996) for free on Hoopla.

A girl with insomnia who works in a coffee house has impossibly high standards for her love and fears she will never meet a worthy man. Then in walks a new employee and they click - until she discovers he has a girlfriend. Undaunted, she moves to L.A. with a friend sure that he will dump the girlfriend and follow her. She puts all her faith in fate and hopes for the best.

This hazy, caffeine-fueled indie captures the restless ache of searching for a soulmate in the quiet hours of the night. It trades grand cinematic gestures for the awkward, bittersweet reality of chasing a romantic fantasy halfway across the country.
