Strive Global Media (Fabrication Films label) has secured the worldwide sales rights on the much anticipated thriller Dead Before They Wake starring: Nathan Shepka (When Darkness Falls, Lock & Load), Grace Cordell (Cara), Manjot Sumal (hit BBC sitcom Scot Squad, The Last Bus), Kareem Nasif (The Job) with Dr Who legend Sylvester McCoy (The Hobbit trilogy, The Munsters) and Patrick Bergin (Patriot Games, The Continental).
DEAD BEFORE THEY WAKE, Produced by Shepka Productions, is inspired by a true story surrounding the recent sex trafficking scandals that rocked the UK press. The film follows nightclub bouncer Alex (Shepka) who is hired by a retired lawyer (McCoy) to track down a missing girl, suspected of being snared by a trafficking ring and bring her home no matter what it takes.
The film is directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka and features an original score by Academy Award winning composer Joseph Renzetti (The Buddy Holly Story, Child’s Play) and music from late great country singer Del Shannon.
“We are very excited to be working with the dynamic team at Shepka Productions on a film that we feel will find a broad global audience.” says Miriam Elchanan, President of Sales & Acquisitions at Strive Global Media.
Shepka Productions CEO, Nathan Shepka said “Dead Before They Wake tells a story that we hope will shed light on the world of trafficking and also deliver an emotional and satisfying punch.”
