As Son Lux, Lott composed the original motion picture score for the upcoming crime thriller Mean Dreams starring Josh Wiggins, Sophie Nélisse, and Bill Paxton. The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight.
Of the darkly entrancing score, The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The dense sonic landscape of Ryan Lott's Son Lux project adds to the film's texture, ranging from the gentlest acoustic underscoring to propulsive drums in moments of accelerating danger."
