Breaking Glass Pictures To Release Terracino’s Provocative Dark Comedy Waking Up Dead Starring Gabriel Sousa, Traci Lords And Judy Geeson

Breaking Glass Pictures is proud to announce the North American release of award-winning writer/director Terracino’s (“Elliot Loves”) latest feature, “Waking Up Dead.” Starring Gabriel Sousa (“As We See It”, “Westworld”), Judy Geeson (“To Sir, With Love,” “Mad About You”), and Traci Lords (“Cry-Baby,” “Melrose Place,” “The Eastsiders”), “Waking Up Dead” will arrive on DVD and VOD, digital platforms including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Vudu, Vimeo, and local cable & satellite providers on October 25.

A very uncomfortable comedy about regret, remorse and wishing you could live your life all over again, “Waking Up Dead” focuses on Gabriel Sousa as 35-year-old hard-partying, self-absorbed Danny Maldonado, a once-promising Hollywood actor (his claim to fame was his guest arc as a narcoleptic rapist on “SVU”) whose life and career have hit rock bottom. But when he’s called in to audition for the lead role in the hottest new pilot in Hollywood, Danny sees it as his shot at redemption. Judy Geeson, in her first major screen role in years, co-stars as Lila, the former actress turned real estate agent who senses that Danny is spinning out of control and tries to intervene. Finally, Traci Lords plays Phyllis, Danny’s caustic grade-B agent who drops by to explain to Danny just why there are so many assholes in the world.

Caio Ara plays Eddy, Danny’s long-suffering ex-boyfriend. Angelic Zambrana(“Gossip Girl,” “Precious”) appears as Danny’s sister, Sabrina, desperate to get Danny to reconnect with their dying mother before it’s too late. Patricia McKenzie(“Cosmopolis”) plays Raven, former nightlife party girl turned Instagram self-help guru.

Rounding out the cast is fashion model Nelson Arrieta, Jr. making his feature film debut as Antonio, Danny’s best friend, while newcomers Antonio Ardolino and Bryce Morton appear as Anthony, a former conquest whom Danny can’t quite remember, and Carlos, an internet hookup whom Danny thoughtlessly tosses out the door before he can even put his clothes back on.
