What happens
Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker is a 2014 animated short film directed by Tom DeLonge, Edgar Martins, and Sergio Martins. The film focuses on the title character Poet, who discovers his guardian angel and destiny inside the Dream World, an alternate universe created by humankind's shared unconscious thoughts. The film features music from DeLonge's rock group Angels & Airwaves. DeLonge had the concept for the character dating back a decade before writing an initial screenplay. Inspired by films such as Blade Runner and A Clockwork Orange, as well as anime such as Aoki Densetsu Shoot! and Akira, initial concept art by Mike Henry was later developed into designs by Sergio and Edgar Martins, Portuguese animators who contacted DeLonge unsolicited online. The brothers put together a small team and independently worked on the project over a two-year period. The story of the short is intended to be the first in an overarching multimedia project that spans books, a graphic novel, and an eventual feature-length film. The film was released alongside the Angels & Airwaves album The Dream Walker on December 9, 2014. It won Best Animated Film at the Toronto International Short Film Festival.
