SARAH LASSEZ (Nowhere, Mad Cowgirl and Blackout), DAVID CONNOLLY (13 Conversations about One Thing), MICHAEL T. WEISS (TV's Pretender) and special guests DEVON ODESSA (TV's My So Called Life; Mad Cowgirl) and ANTHONY DRAZAN (director and screenwriter of Hurlyburly) star in this chilling drama that explores what happens if our bodies refuse to shut down––and the resulting effect on those closest to us. Using the rare genetic disorder fatal familial insomnia as a jumping-off point, Fade looks into the corners of strained relationships and see what dust death kicks up there. We see how wide the gulf between two people can get before they are finally on opposite sides-—death has its way of widening gaps, opening wounds.
Fade is a story of sleeplessness, told through a nightmare.
Fade is David Connolly's final performance; Mr. Connolly passed away tragically in the fall of 2006.

Fade also features music from improvisational legends AMM, Art Bears, Ginnungagap, and original music by Cameron Presley (Upsilon Acrux) and Hollis Lee (Midnight Sun).
