Wide Awake

Documentary filmmaker Alan Berliner ("The Sweetest Sound") explores the predicament of being a seemingly incurable insomniac in this intimate self-portrait. A collage-like experience of archival footage, confessional home movies, interviews with sleep experts, and candid input from his friends and family, the film shows how the self-professed "night owl" can marshal extraordinary creativity while his condition troubles those closest to him. 79 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
