The filmmaking collective known as Omnes Films have given us such recent gems as Ham on Rye, Eephus and Christmas Eve in Miller's Point. Their latest offering is No Sleep Till, the feature debut of writer/director Alexandra Simpson. The film is set in a Florida coastal town evacuated due to an impending hurricane and focusses on the small group who decide to stay in town.
No Sleep Till is in US cinemas from July 18th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
When the coastal Florida town of Atlantic Beach is threatened by an impending hurricane, locals prepare for a mandatory evacuation. But as the last tourists depart and residents board-up their homes, a few wanderers feel strangely compelled to remain. Among them are two-long time friends who embrace willful ignorance in pursuit of their dream gig, a local teenager who bikes alone through the darkening night, and an obsessive storm chaser who recognizes this might be the opportunity of his career. As if haunted by the soon-to-be ghost of their hometown, they venture into the night and face the threats that await them with fascination and dread. Ominous and dream-like in equal measure, the debut from Alexandra Simpson—and the latest feature from the thriving collective Omnes Films (CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLER’S POINT, EEPHUS, HAM ON RYE)—is a hypnotic take on the disaster movie.
