Background
Dream Dangerously is co-produced by Sequart and Respect Films. The film grew out of preview collaborations Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods and Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts.[1] The team felt that Gaiman would be a perfect subject for a next project. At the time, Gaiman was preparing for his final signing tour, which became one of the central subjects of the documentary.
Meaney and Rennert followed Gaiman on his tour in the US and through all of England. This footage became the spine of the film.[2]
This material was supplemented with interviews with Gaiman's collaborators, like DC editor Karen Berger, author Terry Pratchett, as well as his friends and fans like Bill Hader, Michael Sheen, Geoffrey Notkin, and Lenny Henry.[3]
