MY STORY

I'm writing this e-mail to inform you of a project that is very dear to me. 
I have been developing my debut feature film for six years now and there hasn't been a single day that I haven't thought about it.  Whether I'm visiting the characters in a daydream or plotting their next move on the blank page, the film has been there in ways both big and small.  I feel it's important to reiterate this again: I have been holding this story close to my heart every single day for six years.  Now, it's time to share with you and the rest of the world a film that has been such an important part of my life.


THE WAKE is currently in preproduction and fundraising stages.  Until this point, the film has largely been a solitary effort, but my intentions are much greater.  My goal is to impact the world of cinema by offering a film that respects its audience while addressing a void in their discussions.  I am committed to this project and ask for your help to ensure its arrival.  


To learn more about THE WAKE, visit the film's website.


THE IMPACT

The aftermath of an experience.  The emergence from a state of rest.  The sacred ritual held beside someone who has died.  The title alone carries many implications.  THE WAKE confronts death and the grieving process, subject matter often neglected in cinema for its taboo nature.  The characters and audience alike are given the opportunity to delve into something challenging, daring and new.   Through visual storytelling, opposed to relying on dialogue, the film requires engaged spectators capable of drawing from their own interpretations and experiences.  THE WAKE is not an easy film, but has the capability of resonating with audiences globally. 

On a personal level, the title often alludes to my own awakening in producing a feature-length film.  To best describe it, I ask you to imagine a train station with multiple locomotives departing from multiple tracks.  Now imagine there is only one man fueling coal to assure that each train leaves the station and arrives at its respective destination.  It has been a difficult, yet incredibly rewarding task requiring a great deal of dedication, drive and trust in the journey.
