Awake
Synopsis
Farmers, John and Betty, can sense something’s not quite right on their farm in New York’s Wallkill River Valley. They are disturbed to discover their beloved cow has been mutilated and their crops wrecked again - all while someone (or something) stalks them just out of reach. On a hot night, when Betty cannot sleep, she turns to her knitting, a glass of whiskey and a presidential radio address on national security. But there is someone outside. She cannot wake her husband, when she is consumed by light and abducted. She awakens on a hospital gurney surrounded by other victims. Upon the appearance of the men in black, the medical staff knows - this victim isn’t your typical case. She is rushed into emergency surgery where she transforms into an alien hybrid. We are currently working on our festival assets -- DCP, and Subtitled versions. Please reach out if there's anything specific you may need. Thank you for your patience.
