Beyond the Wall of Sleep

    (Target Destroyed, 2019)

Beyond the Wall of Sleep is Nick O'Gorman's adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft short story, aiming to offer some fresh, captivating visuals to the classic tale as well as address, deconstruct and subvert some of more unsavory aspects of the controversial luminary’s work.

Joe Slater is a simple, middle aged forager who is plagued by otherworldly visions and dreams that have left his fragile mind warped and tortured. After committing a grisly double homicide in an agitated fugue state, Joe has been tracked through the wilderness and put through the legal system, ending up under the charge of Dr. Reed and others at the Geck Institute. Together, can Dr. Reed and Joe thwart the troubling delusions before they drain and break him completely, or are there more to the visions than mere science can explain? Beyond the Wall of Sleep is a stunning and fresh take on H.P. Lovecraft’s seminal fiction, and aims to electrify your mind and reinvigorate the material.
