	David Conedera, Executive Producer In 2004, during his first visit to Kingman, Arizona, David Conedera hatched the idea of shooting a film in this ruggedly beautiful and historic town. Discussing his thoughts with his son, writer/director Nick Conedera, David set in motion a project that would see four scripts over a five year period. "The only creative input I provided for Dreamweaver," says David, "was about the format. I thought 35mm would provide Nick and Alexander with the look they wanted, an hommage to westerns of the '50s and '60s."
