Earlier last week Paul Wesley took to Twitter to express to fans how excited he was that the IFC has picked up "Before I Disappear," a film directed by Shawn Christensen.

"It's based on Christensen's 2013 Academy Award-winning short film Curfew," said the Hollywood Reporter, "The film, which had its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival, where it won the audience award for best narrative feature, was produced by Damon Russell, Lucan Toh, Christensen, and Wesley and Terry Leonard and executive produced by Christopher Eoyang, Nick Harbinson, Oliver Roskill and Emily Leo."

The film's cast will also consist of Fatima Ptacek, Emmy Rossum, Richard Schiff and Ron Perlman.
