Awake

Awake is a retro-inspired sci-fi mystery set in the late 1980s/early 1990s. When a young woman wakes up in an unfamiliar bedroom with no memory of how she got there, subtle cracks in reality begin to appear. As strange glitches and impossible events escalate, she uncovers a shocking truth: the world around her is an artificial simulation, and she is the uploaded consciousness of its creator. Faced with the reality of her own existence, she must decide whether to accept the illusion or confront what lies beyond it.

Written & Directed by Josh Andres (USA).
