A casting call for an Albuquerque area music video is now open for In Dreams — a short film music video directed by Richard Pacheco and inspired by the work of David Lynch, filming Saturday, April 18th, 2026 at UNM Valencia Campus in Los Lunas. Story Quest Studios is proud to share this atmospheric, cinematic opportunity with performers across New Mexico.
About the Project
In Dreams is a short film music video drawing inspiration from the surreal, moody world of David Lynch — think late-night diners, neon light, and the strange beauty hiding in ordinary American life. This is a visually rich, character-driven project with multiple roles available across a wide age range. If you’ve been developing your character work in our Albuquerque acting classes, this is a great opportunity to put it on screen.
