REVIEWS:

"The dance is visceral – so much so that I felt I could nearly smell the earth – and each shot is clearly choreographed with the dance, and specifically for the camera, which is not surprising as it was both directed and choreographed by Holly Wilder. Wake is an intelligent and moving short film that is beautifully rendered." – Sarah Elgart, for Cultural Weekly || Read the full review
