Good Night, Sleep Tight

A Toronto couple discover they have bed bugs. Watch as they go through the trials and tribulations of dealing with the pests and how it puts a strain on their relationship in the process. Based on a true story. Dark comedy short film starring Karen Scobie & Steven Vlahos.

Good Night, Sleep Tight is a film based on a personal experience. Karen Scobie lived through a summer with bed bugs in 2013 and decided to turn that nightmare time of her life into a film. Bed bugs are a real issue in Toronto, but there is a huge stigma around them. No one wants to admit if they have bed bugs, because people will think they are “dirty”. This film is a tribute to everyone who has ever had beg bugs or a bed bug scare, to show them they are not alone. It’s educational for those lucky few who have never had them, and a “How To” for those currently with them.

The trailer/opening scene was filmed in February 2019 and released online March 18, 2019. Filming for the entire short film began May 27, 2019 and finished June 27, 2019. The film premiered at Fox Theatre on Sunday, October 27, 2019 featuring a pre-premiere screening of new sketch comedy films from Big Cake Comedy & Cackle Comedy Productions. The night was a huge success and sent Good Night, Sleep Tight through the festival circuit in 2020. Now Good Night, Sleep Tight is available to rent online through the Reel Women’s Network.
