Drawn by the scent of a girl he once knew, Frank Lower searches every shadow of the sleeping city...follows every echo down the corridors of his obsession. One hope always remains...one moment of contact.
A dark psychological thriller by 2 fiercly independent filmmakers who invented a new film format Superduper8 in order to shoot this film. These filmmakers are heros: the essence of DIY and paradoxically perfectionist, using 8mm film techniques to their best advantages in an expressionistic and dreamy masterpiece.

The film will be preceeded by Moths of the Mountain, a short Super 8 film by Sarah Bouttell and Chris Bate.
Also, interesting fact for those who care:
There are legends of well-known $20,000 movies, like El Mariachi and Blair Witch Project. But the fact is, once a distributor picked it up they had to invest $100,000 into the sound. Sleep Always has the $100,000 sound job
within it's $20,000 budget, courtesy of Mitch Perkins' Academy Award-winning brother Jeffrey (Dances with Wolves).
