Macon: "A Wake" (****)

Raoul Bhaneja and Sarain Boylan star in "A Wake"

The winner of both the Narrative Jury Prize and the Melvin Douglas Award for Best in Show at this year's Macon Film Festival was "A Wake." The film by Penelope Buitenhuis centers around a group of thespians who reunite in snowy Ontario for the wake of their beloved late theater director, Gabor Zazlov. Bringing with them plenty of unfinished business and unresolved issues, the characters are all especially unstable due to the added emotional weight of of Gabor's death.
