Sleepwalking
Directed by William Maher
Produced by Denver & Delilah Productions, FilmEngine
A bleak, intimate road-trip drama about a damaged uncle and his vulnerable niece navigating abandonment, abuse, and the fragile bonds that form in desperation.
When her boyfriend is arrested for marijuana possession, Joleen Reedy and her 11-year-old daughter, Tara, take refuge with Joleen's aimless brother, James. Joleen soon runs off with a truck driver, and James is unable to meet his responsibilities. After Child Protective Services takes possession of Tara, James abducts her from a foster home, and the two travel from California to Utah, where his abusive father lives.
