3. What inspired the storyline?

“This was an idea I have had for about a year. I was inspired by the original Mad Max film, but I wanted to put my own spin on the story.”

4. Through your film, what message are you conveying to your audience?

5. How is your film different than others being shown?

“There are a lot of ‘dark’ films being shown, but ours has an individual storyline and one of the only ‘post-apocalyptic’ films being shown.”

6. Can you provide details of your filming/editing process?

“Our film was almost entirely filmed outside, so we faced the challenge of weather and exciting locations. Throughout the editing process, we wanted to keep the dark look to the film.”

7. How did you pick your actors/actresses?

“Our main character is played by Nathan Ringel. I knew he was going to be our main character from the beginning, so I wrote the character around him. Other than him, I tried to surround him with any person I knew could act and was willing to help.”

“An exciting journey of life and death.”
