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.

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.
