IFC Films will be releasing Sleepwalk with Me in limited release August 24. Actually, a "limited release" is somewhat of an understatement, since it is only playing in one New York City theater. To help spread the word about this new comedy, actor/director/writer Mike Birbiglia and writer/producer Ira Glass made this charming featurette to promote the movie, and the Q&A sessions they are holding after each screening. Take a look at this video to see what lengths these filmmakers will go to in order for their indie to succeed.

"I'm going to tell you a story, and it's true....I always have to tell people that." So asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbigliaa directly to the viewer at the outset of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut. Birbiglia wears his incisive wit on his sleeve while portraying a cinematic surrogate. We are thrust into the tale of a burgeoning stand-up comedian struggling with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship threatening to race out of his control, and the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking he is desperate to ignore.

Based on the successful one-man show, Sleepwalk with Me engages in the kind of passionate and personal storytelling that transfigures intimate anguish into comic art. Produced and co-written by Ira Glass (This American Life), Sleepwalk with Me features a stellar supporting cast that includes Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Carol Kane (Taxi), James Rebhorn (Meet the Parents), Cristin Milioti (30 Rock), and a sampling from the who's who of today's stand-up scene.
