Wide Awake

A film that balances the precision of a Swiss watch with the messiness of a restless mind, Wide Wake is filmmaker Alan Berliner’s uniquely personal tour through his life-long obsession with insomnia. In the spirit of his highly acclaimed experimental documentary films, Intimate Stranger, Nobody’s Business and The Sweetest Sound, Berliner once again uses his own life as a laboratory ‚ this time to confront both the anguish of his sleeplessness, and the blessing of extra time that it affords his creative life.
