“A young woman waits out the night in a twilight state, where dreams, memories, revisited and reenacted events intermingle. She tries her best to parse truth from embellishment, reflecting on her relationship with the man sleeping soundly beside her,” reads the synopsis for Wake Me When I Leave, an intriguing new independent psychological horror feature from Tyler Rubenfeld.
We’re pleased to present the first trailer for the film, which is available to stream for free for the next few weeks on Fandependent. Shot by rising cinematographer Paul Taylor and produced by friend of the site Christopher Bell, it looks like a compelling trip into a subconscious state. Check out the exclusive trailer below, backed by Tomemitsu‘s Easy, and the great poster, for the film starring Michael Fentin (star of Slamdance winner Driftwood), Adam Barrie, Greg Steinbruner, Zahra Zubaidi, and Jenna D’Angelo.
Jill and Todd, a young couple, are accosted on the street by two hooded men. Later, as Todd sleeps soundly, Jill waits out the night in a twilight state, where dreams, remembrances, revisited and reenacted events intermingle. Her thoughts drift to her first encounter with Todd, at a party both were too drunk to remember. Somewhere, buried in her subconscious, those memories still exist—their initial attraction, the springboard for a long, mutually dependent relationship. In her search for the truth, she will have to wade through the nightmarish visions of the present that seem to rewrite the past before her very eyes, and a growing suspicion that some of her dreams are not her own.
Wake Me When I Leave is now available to stream on Fandependent until February 21st.
