Lucid is a Canadian horror film, directed by Ramsey Fendall and Deanna Milligan and released in 2025.[1] The film stars Caitlin Taylor as Mia Sunshine Jones, an art student on the verge of being expelled from school. Desperate to find the creative inspiration that will improve her art, she turns to a magical elixir that triggers lucid dreaming, only to unleash manifestations of her own inner demons, including a hairy monster (Vivian Vanderpuss) representing her painful repressed memories of her mother.[2]
The full-length directorial debut for both Fendall and Milligan, a married couple, it is an expansion of their 2021 short film of the same title.[3]
After struggling to secure studio support for the feature film version, they were encouraged to find ways to make and fund it themselves as an independent film. They shot the film in their home community of Oak Bay, British Columbia, although the temporary apartment set they built in their garage was erroneously reported to the authorities by a neighbour as an illegal AirBNB.[3]
