The folks over at Maya Entertainment are taking a big step into the mainstream, with the distribution and acquiring all U.S. rights to Alex Rivera’s Sundance award-winner “Sleep Dealer.” Now the official website has released the trailer for the film.
The film stars Luis Fernando Pena, Leonor Varela and Jacob Vargas. Sleep Dealer is set to hit theaters in Feb 2009.
If you’re a fan of early sci-fi indie films like Shane Carruth’s PRIMER and Darren Aronofsky’s PI then Sleep Dealer is right up your alley, its like a Mexican Matrix or THX 1138.
Set in a near-future, militarized world marked by closed borders, virtual labor and a global digital network that joins minds and experiences, three strangers risk their lives to connect with each other and break the barriers of technology.
