A SPARTAN DREAM is the story of BRAD, 19 (played by Peter Bundic), a Greek American history buff who works hard at his father’s failing New Jersey diner. Magical realism weaves its way through the romantic-adventure story (c.1987) as Brad is sent to his ancestral village in Greece to evict relatives from a family home. Cracking under pressure, he escapes into fantasy, purposefully (and absurdly) recruiting the villagers to join him on a mission to reignite the Peloponnesian War with Athens. All to win the heart of a young Greek woman who lives in the home. Set against the backdrop of the Greek government’s concurrent quest to see the Parthenon Marbles returned from England, A SPARTAN DREAM is an odyssey through one young man's exceptional imagination.

Directed by M. Achilles, A SPARTAN DREAM was co-written and co-produced by Leonidas G. Demas, George Demas and Michael A. Nickles along with Greek producers Lilette Botassi, and Dimitris Hatzivogiatzis. The ensemble cast includes Peter Bundic (‘Brad’), Georgia Mesariti (‘Gorgo’), Katerina Didaskalou (‘Melina Mercouri’), Renos Haralambidis (‘Mayor Katsika’), Kostas Koroniaos (‘Roy Rogers’), and Nikos Tsergas (‘Uncle George’). The film was shot entirely on location in Greece.

“A SPARTAN DREAM tells the delightful story of a young man who is sent to Greece on family business but ends up fighting for love in an epic battle with history itself,” explains Bill Vergos, Head of Digital Film Distribution for Freestyle Digital Media. “Our team at Freestyle Digital Media are excited to distribute this film which was inspired by real events to theatrical audiences.”

“A SPARTAN DREAM combines romance, comedy, historical fantasy and life lessons into a film that resonates with all ages,” states writer/producer Leonidas G. Demas. “We’re honored for the award recognitions and delighted to partner with Freestyle Digital Media to bring this to collective audiences, before going wide to streaming.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire distribution rights to A SPARTAN DREAM with filmmaker Leonidas G. Demas and Carol Contes of Contes Law Corporation.
