If You Fall Asleep, You Die | Post-Apocalyptic Short Film

If you fall asleep, you die. DON'T FALL ASLEEP is a post apocalyptic short film told through the eyes of a wounded survivor, with one desperate rule: stay awake. After a bite leaves him fighting to remain conscious, his companion must get him across an overgrown, devastated city in search of an antidote. The nearest medical station has none left. Their next hope is North Station — and reaching it means facing the streets, the darkness, and creatures waiting along the way. Every step is harder. Every silence feels dangerous. As exhaustion takes over, her voice becomes the one thing keeping him moving. This immersive first-person survival horror short film combines a ruined world, tense creature encounters and the human connection at the heart of survival. Abandoned streets, a dark underground parking garage and the search for medical help turn a simple journey into a fight to keep his eyes open.
