Movies You Made: “Wail Away”
From the recent Introduce Yourself post, there were several readers who included information about movies they had made. So this week, we’ll feature those. Here’s today’s selection. From Dan Allan who is serving as the Social Media Coordinator for the movie Wail Away:
The official synopsis:
“How far would you go to re-experience the past?”
Uncovering the truth behind his recently euthanized grandfather, film director Torsten plans the unthinkable. In an attempt to relive the torturous experiments his grandfather performed as a Nazi guard, Torsten hatches a plan to put himself in the shoes of the tortured, for the sake of self redemption and making sense of a past he had no idea existed. With two willing volunteers he gets to work in an abandoned industrial facility on the outskirts of town. With the experiment continuing to take its toll on all three, cracks begin to surface which eventually halt his deranged plan. The experiment maybe over, but the torture is only beginning..
Wail Away was shot over 9 days in an abandoned mill in Melbourne’s western suburbs. It was shot without any government funding (which is very rare for a local film) and all the actors and crew are on differed payments. The film is bypassing a theatrical release, instead opting to move straight into international DVD and VOD distribution. Wail Away is set for a US release in mid-late 2012.
