Released By Breaking Glass Pictures

- 

Breaking Glass Pictures is proud to announce the North American release of award-winning writer/ director Terracino’s (“Elliot Loves”) latest feature, “Waking Up Dead.” Starring Gabriel Sousa (“As We See It”, “Westworld”), Judy Geeson (“To Sir, With Love,” “Mad About You”), and Traci Lords (“Cry-Baby,” “Melrose Place,” “The Eastsiders”), “Waking Up Dead” held its World Premiere at Cinema Diverse/ Palm Springs LGBTQ Film Festival where it took home multiple awards including Festival Favorite and Director’s Choice, and went on to play Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The film arrives on DVD and VOD, digital platforms including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Vudu, Vimeo, and local cable & satellite providers today.

A very uncomfortable comedy about regret, remorse and wishing you could live your life all over again, “Waking Up Dead” focuses on Gabriel Sousa as 35year-old hard-partying, self-absorbed Danny Maldonado, a once-promising Hollywood actor (his claim to fame was his guest arc as a narcoleptic rapist on “SVU”) whose life and career have hit rock bottom. But when he’s called in to audition for the lead role in the hottest new pilot in Hollywood, Danny sees it as his shot at redemption. Judy Geeson, in her first major screen role in years, co-stars as Lila, the former actress turned real estate agent who senses that Danny is spinning out of control and tries to intervene. Finally, Traci Lords plays Phyllis, Danny’s caustic grade-B agent who drops by to explain to Danny just why there are so many assholes in the world.
