Train Dreams is a 2025 American period drama film directed by Clint Bentley and adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella. It follows Robert Grainier, an orphaned logger and railroad worker in the early 20th‑century American West and explores themes of love, loss and perseverance.
The Dramatica Users Group (DUG) is our monthly community gathering where we analyze stories using the Dramatica theory of story. In each meeting we break down a film or novel, discuss its storyform and narrative dynamics, and invite everyone to share their insights and questions.
All are welcome to join this month’s DUG session. To participate, join us via Zoom at the scheduled time using this link:
