Stafford, who performs musically as Luke Charles, is best known for his performance in Brian Lucke Anderson’s East of Middle West and his song “Still Missin’ You,” and has become a lead role actor in vertical dramas for the likes of GoodShort and ReelShort.

It will feature original music with Stafford performing on saxophone, piano and showcasing a song with the same name as the film that released earlier in the year.

Stafford is also the writer and director.

The pic premieres at The Culver Theater in Culver City with a red carpet, Q&A with Stafford and an official launch celebration for Dream United.

The event will be held in partnership with VertiCon, as part of ther VertiCon Weekend, which is dedicated to vertical video makers and stars.
