Kristoffer Borgli has been making films for a while now, steadily developing a voice that pulls from the zeitgeist but transmutes the findings into something distinctive and often very funny. His latest film, Dream Scenario, places Nicolas Cage in the role of Paul Matthews, a painfully plain college professor who finds himself the center of attention when he starts appearing in people’s dreams.Before long, the cultural machine that grants 15 minutes of fame turns on Paul, and things only get worse. One of Borgli’s greatest strengths as a writer/director is that he takes a premise that could serve as the basis of a sketch and stretches the proceedings so that no stone is left unturned. This commitment to the fantastical and placing the absurd within the ordinary has yielded a remarkable array of shorts, music videos, documentaries, features, and other works that viewers should seek.RELATED: REVIEW: Dream Scenario Makes Nic Cage the Man of Your Dreams
