As Dreams Are Made On is a 2004 short film written and directed by Gabriel Reid.

Ian Hughes plays Reuben Mills, a young actor feeling pressure to nest.

Reid's research interviewees included John Barton, Hugh Cruttwell, Adrian Noble, Trevor Nunn, David Parfitt and Imogen Stubbs.

[1] The film's title is derived from lines uttered by the magician Prospero, in Act IV, Scene I, of Shakespeare's late romance The Tempest: Our revels now are ended.

These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind.
