Pictured: a bloodied Mike Birbiglia collects himself after a sleepwalking injury outside La Quinta Inn.
The Barrow Group is thrilled to announce that the film version of Mike Birbiglia’s story Sleepwalk With Me will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
The official synopsis:
Reluctant to confront his fears of love, honesty, and growing up, a budding standup comedian has both a hilarious and intense struggle with sleepwalking.
Mike directed the movie, and wrote it with Seth Barrish (who directed the stage version), Joe Birbiglia and Ira Glass. The film stars Mike, Lauren Ambrose, Jim Rebhorn and Carol Kane. It was shot by cinematographer Adam Beckman. Jacob Jaffke produced.
Congrats to Mike, Seth and all involved in this project. Good luck in Park City!
