Sleep/Paralysis

Jake Drahota

Titled Sleep/Paralysis, this project is a movie that was motivated by how people seem to have become more unhinged than ever before, almost to the point of insanity. Based on this, I created a movie about a person that goes to bed as usual, but gets trapped in his subconscious and becomes insane within his own dreams; forever lost in a fragment of his mind.
