Join WJCT Public Media for a special screening of the 2024 documentary, No Sleep Till.
“A dreamy, visually striking look at locals in a small Florida beach town under the threat of a hurricane. The humidity drips off the screen as teenagers party and skateboard.” – Variety
“Gorgeous images and interesting characters engaged in the seemingly wild juxtapositions through the uncertainty of impending chaos.” – The Film Stage
When an impending hurricane threatens the coastal Florida town of Atlantic Beach, locals prepare for a mandatory evacuation. But as the last tourists depart and residents board up their homes, a few wanderers feel strangely compelled to remain. Among them are two long-time friends who embrace willful ignorance in pursuit of their dream gig, a local teenager who bikes alone through the darkening night, and an obsessive storm chaser who recognizes this might be the opportunity of his career. As if haunted by the soon-to-be ghost of their hometown, they venture into the night and face the threats that await them with fascination and dread. Ominous and dream-like in equal measure, the debut from Alexandra Simpson is a hypnotic take on the disaster movie. Writer and director, Simpson, will introduce the film and host a Q&A session at the end.
