Creating a Wake at the SXSW

Chad Feehan's (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) film Wake will have its premiere at the South by Southwest film festival, which, as reported, kicks off March 12th. The film's plot centers on the Roy's Motel. Here characters Paul and Adrienne step into a "surreal place" (SXSW). This is Feehan's first time in the director's chair and he describes the film here: "we took your traditional, eerie Motel backdrop with unsettling characters similar to Psycho or Identity, then infused it with the drama and emotions" (Twitch). This will be the one to see in Austin, Texas. For anyone not able to make it, more details to follow.

The official synopsis for Wake here:

"Driving to a wedding in Los Angeles through the Mojave Desert, Paul and Adrienne pull off the highway and into Roy’s Motel and Café. This roadside artifact proves to be a strange and surreal place with an unsettling mix of travelers, who force our couple to discover the secret hidden between them and ultimately, the horrifying reality of their current situation" (SXSW).

Release Date: March 12th (Limited Theatrical).

Director and Screenwriter: Chad Feehan

Cast: Josh Stewart, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Chris Browning, Angela Featherstone, Afemo Omilami, and Trevor Morgan.
