Sleepwalk With Me (2013)
Summary: “I’m going to tell you a story, and it’s true… I always have to tell people that.” So asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbiglia directly to the viewer of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut. We are thrust into the tale of a burgeoning stand-up comedian (Birbiglia) struggling with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship, and wild spurts of severe sleepwalking. Based on the successful one-man show, SLEEPWALK WITH ME engages in passionate and personal storytelling that transfigures intimate anguish into comic art.
