Magazine Dreams (2025)

[Heinz-Klett]

Written and directed by Elijah Bynum (Hot Summer Nights) with Jonathan Majors and Haley Bennett.

Premiers January 21, 2023 at Sundance.

Killian Maddox lives with his ailing veteran grandfather, obsessively working out between court-mandated therapy appointments and part-time shifts at a grocery store where he harbors a crush on a friendly cashier. Though Killian’s struggles to read social cues and maintain control of his volatile temper amplify his sense of disconnection amid a hostile world, nothing deters him from his fiercely protected dream of bodybuilding superstardom, not even the doctors who warn that he’s causing permanent damage to his body with his quest.
