SHOWING JUNE 23 - JULY 6 | Confronting a serious and common problem of rural families across the country with human mix of humor and levity. Set against the backdrop of the prescription drug and opioid crisis in the USA, Jamie Sisley depicts the individual consequences of a societal tragedy, while taking an unflinching yet gentle look at a complicated web of relationships. A quietly powerful look at the ripple effects of opioid addiction, STAY AWAKE explores addiction from the lesser-seen viewpoint of the caretakers–in this case teenaged brothers (Wyatt Oleff, Fin Argus). Their mother (Chrissy Metz) is loving and well-meaning but powerless to pull herself out of the destructive cycle of her disease. The boys must put their dreams on the backburner as they’re constantly discovering their mom passed out, dragging her to the hospital, and encouraging to go to rehab–with the possibility of relapse always lingering. Anchored by three superb performances, STAY AWAKE finds surprising humor and humanity amid the tragedy of parental addiction. More Info
