Sadie's Waltz in
DC Shorts
with music by BWG
Sadie's Waltz
a film by Mobius Films
Featuring Golden Globe winner Richard Beymer (Twin Peaks, West Side Story), Jon Stafford (Full Metal Jacket), Summer Stevens and Barbara Weetman, Sadie’s Waltz is a haunting story of grief and transcendence. A young woman trapped in a home destroyed by tragedy suffers her father’s tyrannical abuse until a strange vision inspired by a comic book advertisement shows her an unexpected path to liberation.
Written and directed by Edward R. Tyndall and beautifully photographed by award-winning cinematographer M. Shawn Lewallen, Sadie’s Waltz boldly dramatizes the subconscious in a film where the rational and the irrational collide in a struggle for the survival of a human soul.

"It was a joy to work with Brian on my last two projects. His dedication to the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the creative process greatly increased the dramatic complexity of my films.
Brian has an amazing talent for composing cinematic scores. I look forward to working with him on our next film."
