Narrative
Starring Mina Sundwall and Elliot Fletcher
A young man seeks isolation in the woods after his mother's wake only to discover that, as he sleeps, he unconsciously pulls his sleepwalking community to him.
When Cooper escapes into the forest and attempts to live in solitude, members of his community and his past life sleepwalk out to him, relaying their dreams and memories to Cooper and presenting him with a level of vulnerability he feels incapable of reciprocating. As more and more people show up every night, Cooper is forced to confront his grief and the flaws in his own ideology and to consider the benefits of community, connection, and care, even under such eerie circumstances.
Wake is about the experience of a conscious desire for solitude pitted against an unconscious need for human connection.
