Sleep.

- to be dormant, quiescent, or inactive, as faculties;
- the repose of death.

A taut psychological thriller where paranoia abounds and trust is dangerous, Sleep Shift will take you through the nights of a city in shadow and a man in a struggle for his sanity. In the style of recent films such as Memento and classics like Rear Window and Blow Up, this is a thrilling, sometimes voyeuristic journey into the mind of one man while danger abounds.

Says director Neal Dhand, “I'm interested in the ways people interact with each other; in people who are on the edge of society, and don't quite fit in with everyone else. Sleep Shift for me is a world of illogic wrapped in a world of logic, where paranoia and uncertainty spiral out of control and give the protagonist no chance for escape."

To be shot on-location in Rochester, NY and Philadelphia, PA in atmospheric locations ranging from a claustrophobic sleep lab, to a sultry nightclub, Sleep Shift follows one man who witnesses a murder and the subsequent mystery closing in on him.
