A T2 Entertainment and Inland Sea Productions Film
The Next American Dream is a collaboration between T2 Entertainment and Inland Sea Productions, both based in Kansas City, Missouri. A joint passion for their city became the genesis for this engaging documentary. Planning began as soon as Kansas City made the decision to rebuild and revitalize its urban core after decades of abandonment and decline. The film makers are the first to document this process on all levels and use it as one example for a broader exploration of “The American Dream” — both past and present. They explore what led us to abandon our “downtowns” all across America— with an unprecedented flight to suburbia -- and what’s bringing us back – one city at a time.
T2, led by CEO Teri Rogers is a nationally recognized visual design, digital production and post production company that creates content across multiple platforms. Inland Sea Productions’ Emmy-award winning producers Aimee Larrabee and John Altman are highly seasoned filmmakers and writers, widely known for their PBS documentaries and other entertainment projects. The two companies are currently in post production on an IMAX film, “We The People,” due out in 2010.
