Details.
Wiki.
A Wake is a Canadian drama film, directed by Penelope Buitenhuis and released in 2009.
The film centres on a group of actors who are convening for a wake following the death of Gabor Zazlov (Nicholas Campbell), who had been their director in a production of Hamlet that collapsed several years earlier; the gathering, requested by Gabor shortly before his death, is in fact a ploy to restore his damaged reputation by forcing the cast to stage a filmed reading of the play, in the hopes that their petty dramas and recriminations will ultimately reveal the real reasons why the production failed.
