SUMMARY
Alone in his family’s decaying, long-deserted homestead, Sebastian (Martin Landau), confronts the blank page, a writer struggling to tell a tale. “…Each room, every hallway harbors the same shadows as when my brothers and I were young. And in each and every shadow, the same unchanging deceptions…” Is what we are experiencing what really happened? Does it exist only in Sebastian”s memory, or is it a fiction?
In the film, “WAKE”, the fateful reunion of four brothers quickly dissolves into a night of drinking, deceit, perversions, and death. They don’t realize until it is too late that the party they are having is, in fact, a wake.

The writing and directorial debut of Henry LeRoy Finch, “WAKE” is a performance vehicle in the literary spirit of the great American playwrights; O’Neill, Albee, and Shepard. Shot entirely on location in and around Bath, Maine in a house that was originally built in 1745, the film has a visual authenticity that is palpable. “WAKE” presents powerful performances captured with innovative technology.

The gifted cast includes: Gale Harold (”Queer as Folk”) as Kyle, Blake Gibbons (”Hollywood Homicide”) as Raymond, Dihlon McManne (”Prospect”) as Sebastian, John Winthrop Philbrick (”Stephen King”s The Langoliers”) as Jack, Rainer Judd (”Reunion”) as Dusty, newcomer Dusty Paik as April, and Oscar-winner Martin Landau (”Crimes and Misdemeanors”), (”Ed Wood”) as Older Sebastian.
