FALL AWAKE

Two pandemic depressed souls meet on a cityscape rooftop to jump together; Layla, an addict on the edge of losing sobriety, and Jobe, a simplistic loner diagnosed with cancer.

Director Statement

I wrote Fall Awake as a way to cope with my own pandemic lockdown struggles with sobriety, suicidal thoughts, and loneliness. I am grateful that my words came to life thanks to a devoted crew and a community of indie film lovers. We hope that our film inspires discussion, and encourages the viewer to reach out to those looking for a reason.
