NYC PREMIERE

Tuesday, May 5 at 7:00: The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with director/producer William D. Caballero and producers Brad Jones, Erin Ploss-Campoamor and Elaine Del Valle.

Winner of the NEXT Special Jury Award for Creative Expression at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, William D. Caballero’s TheyDream is a deeply personal documentary that examines the transformative nature of grief for a close-knit Puerto Rican family. Filmmaker William D. Caballero interweaves animation with live action footage to create a type of intimate confession about the courage it takes to transform pain into art alongside the people we love most.
