A small town detective struggles to unravel a homicide case that has eerie similarities to a case involving the murder of his own wife and daughter. Through the process he comes to discover an answer that he wasn’t prepared for. Shot using an HVX200 with a 35mm lens adapter and starring celebrated St. Louis actor, David Wassilak, “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters” is a unique neo-noir style psychological thriller inspired by the famous etching by Spanish painter Francisco Goya.
