Hello, this is Dom…

From High Fliers Films, the brutal thriller – Dead Before They Wake – will have a UK Digital release on 27th January. Here’s what they had to say:

Based on true events, the film follows nightclub bouncer Alex who is hired by a retired lawyer to track down a missing teenaged girl, suspected of being snared by a trafficking ring, and to bring her home no matter what it takes.

Dead Before They Wake stars Nathan Shepka (Lock & Load, The Baby in the Basket), Grace Cordell (Cara), Manjot Sumal (The Last Bus, hit BBC sitcom Scot Squad), Kareem Nasif (The Job). Also starring Dr Who legend Sylvester McCoy (The Hobbit trilogy, The Munsters) and Patrick Bergin (Sleeping With the Enemy, Patriot Games). The film features an original score by Academy Award winning composer Joseph Renzetti and is directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka.

Producer Nathan Shepka commented: “We wanted to base the film on real events and researched how UK sex trafficking gangs operate to give the film a grounded sense of reality. It is important to highlight what goes on every day and can often by ignored by the mainstream. We don’t feel any studio would have taken on the story in this way, it is likely to be a divisive and controversial portrayal. Ultimately there still has to be a pay-off for the audience; the film culminates in a brutal revenge-driven showdown.”
