Dancer-turned-actor Isaac Hernández on starring in Michel Franco's 'Dreams,' working with Jessica Chastain and the film's urgent message.
When Isaac Hernández was cast in Michel Franco ‘s upcoming drama “ Dreams ” alongside Jessica Chastain, he immediately felt the weight of the story on his shoulders.
