Shut Eye

To cure their insomnia, a social outcast befriends an ASMR streamer where the lines between friendship and obsession become blurred.

“A vivid portrait of intimacy and grief. The potential voyeurism of ASMR is used to explore the particular brand of loneliness that comes with your early twenties. Lush colours and dreamlike pacing create a subtle surrealism that makes the familiar location of Tāmaki Makaurau unsettling and strange. A moving debut from writer-director Tom Levesque.” ~Rachel Ashby, Flicks
