Fantastic beginning. Very cute little girl actor. Love the houseboat situation. The deepest emotion beautifully conveyed. This is a very impressive movie. Satisfying ending.
@@hayliemia3225 YOU WERE CUTE BUT A L L THE MEN "ALL" WERE PATHETIC NOT BASED IN REALITY NO SURVIVORS NONE PERIOD INCLUDING LITTLE GIRL WHAT WAS PAST FANTASY IS SOON TO BECOME REALITY DONT TAKE NANO/TECH SHOT !!! AND L I V E B GOD BLESS THIS WORLDS PEOPLE
I realize that this was done nine years ago. I am absolutely floored at the quality and acting and overall masterpiece of an independent short film. Wow
Okay....already I am annoyed at how "pansy" this guy is. Hell, save the propane for heating in winter months. Cook over a flame fire. Fish everyday, and save canned food....or dry your fish/deer catch, into jerky by using the sun...voile'...no need for refrigerator. Society is extremely spoiled and useless. As a woman...I know how to hunt, fish and dress my kill, cook it over an open fire, purify water. True survivors do not need to haul hundreds of pounds of canned food & gallons of water. LEARN to do without, so you can become resourceful in a catastrophe.
Then you would also know that being that close to the shockwave they would in all reality be dead also and not to mention the fallout that would have settled upon them in the coming days.
WOW! What a bunch of great talents, I loved the story and could feel the aches of each of the characters. Brilliant director, actors and playwright. Overall i give it a 10. Hope you can do more films, you are amazing, honestly! 💕
I hope you make many more videos in this style, I am going to visit again. As with all films there may be imperfections, but this one I enjoyed more than ANY other I have seen in months, and I've seen many. Thank you for portraying a survivor story of people who did not by coincidence have a PhD in post-apocalyptic science (like all the commentators seem to have), a story of Christians being a family in the worst situation, with a satisfying but explicable end. Thank you!
Most vehicle is anti-siphon now. The only way to get gas out is either inject air pressure in to it or get access to the gas tank by drill or unbolt the seats...
or remove the hose clamp from the rubber fuel hose or vent tube right beside of it and simply siphon from there but not necessary on that early 90s bus he was siphoning from
Very well done. Works from a number of angles. Doesn't explain everything ... doesn't solve everything ... which is good. Leaves it up to the viewer to think things through.
not every nuke is the same, there are strategic nukes. Not all of them are MASSIVE, END OF THE WORLD nukes. You have to have strategically sized nukes varying in destructive power. It's unintelligent to have 50 square miles of nuclear contamination if your goal is to destroy one small city.
just to answer your question, the school was lit naturally. There were skylights in the ceiling, which was what you mistook for artificial light. As for the grass being cut, you got us there, we didn't have the money for a greens department....and we couldn't force people to stop cutting the grass for weeks. That's something we couldn't do with a few hundred dollars.
Enjoyable vid. A good representation of the possible "complications" concerning postpoc parenthood. Thanks for your efforts in making it available.. d:^)
i love how there are a ton of comments criticizing the nuclear effects but no one is questioning the gas can exploding when shot. other than that, great film. thanks
I've seen many people say that. I don't know how you aren't seeing those comments. Lol this short was unrealistic from the start. Some things would happen the way they portrayed but the big stuff wasn't. This movie wasn't even possible without the unrealistic beginning which makes the entire movie redundant in my opinion.
You should probably start responding to the people personally under the comment that they shared instead of the main thread bc they most likely aren't seeing your response.
soelvfaks1 everything will be radiated including canned food, where do you draw the line? There is a grain called pearl barley, it actually picks up radioactive particles in your body and you crap them out, add some to every meal, fish would be no worse than anything else you,d find.
Propane tank on camper, hose WAY too long to siphon gas. Just saying. Acting was excellent, especially the little girl. I'd get her a piece of candy whatever it took.
Could, have really happened, in 1978, as was on AS-36, L.Y. Spear, and had "Broken Arrow" had accident, with oil Tanker, on Mississippi, entrance to New Orleans , ASROC , we carried, broke loose, nuclear Magazine,
This... no words can say just how impressed I am with the entire thing! This was so good even from the start and I hated that it ended so soon. Great story line, great acting and just a blown away effect overall! Thank you!!
I wondered whether these post apocalyptic scenarios were foretelling or preprogramming, then I saw a small town in Virginia the day after a Derecho came through and knocked power out. I was driving through and needed gas, only one gas station had power during this hot and humid summer morning. It hadn't even been half a day and people were at each other's throats already.
After 7 years on RU-vid and only 31k views!?!? I'm really surprised.. was a very good short film, good acting and realistic situations. Highly recommended!
If you are far enough away a nuke won't blind you but would i gamble on it hell no of look away so i can preserve my eye balls in the even me and my wife will survive the initial impact
Excellent indeed! Speechless.....i stopped watching Gravity after 15minutes...., you proved its not about money to be able to speak out .i would even dare to say '' silently'' very loud the message, will share your work on my facebook. Any more ideas for a movie? Greetings from Croatia :)
Well that's unrealistic. Lol "get behind the tree" as if that's going to protect you from the shock wave of a nuclear bomb that went off in the range of your sight. Lol
I am watching this in 2021 and I will still say that this is a good movie I hope you all have been able to succeed in your dreams of creating even greater movies I hope you all have kept up your creativity and I'm hoping to find more movies from y'all
Very nice job on this movie, I agree with the others i'd like to see it be expanded on, another 30 minutes or so you could have something here that would be a full lenth movie you might be able to interest someone in, The "gangs" sadly portrayed here and also in the movie Dystopia will likely be what it will be like for those that do survive the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. It will create lots of paranoia and mistrust and turn people against each other. Perhaps that is something you could use to expand on a little cutting away from the family to the "gang" to show more of this side. Just a thought.. Very well done though! It as a great job and especially on a limited budget that even as someone else said many high budget films don't even capture.
In movies like this, people are always selfish and look out for themselves or their own family. In a real situation, surely it would make sense for people to hang together and help each other out. That's how we got through the Stone Age.
they were far enough away from the bomb for that not to happen. Look into the hiroshima bombings. Some people who lived a mile or so away from the point of impact lived their full life. Yet they were still thrown by the blast wave. watch this video on youtube, go to the 6:30 mark and it will explain. search: Hiroshima Nuclear (atomic) Bomb - USA attack on Japan (1945)
"People's Militias" are more likely to evolve into this gangs than anything else, it's not like they are actually trying to develop means to produce goods in mass scales so that no one has to take it by force, they would be the ones exercising strength, like they've preparing for anyways, and that simply is not enough to organize people in desperate situations, so in no time they would be the ones needing to be held accountable. Stop storing guns and start learning how to plant stuff.
Tough situation. I can think of some things I might have done differently than the father did, but he and his children survived in the end. Thanks only to a stroke of good luck, being rescued by some good people. This makes a good argument for being a prepper. You never know what may happen. A good chance the people that rescued them were at least a little prepared for possible disasters. Which are many. Great film. Very well acted and made.
thanks! the halo movie was really just a little project compared to Aftermath, we had real actors for this and extras. It was alot more complicated, but fun.
Best comment on RU-vid. Thank you for saying that. You are one in a million. Thank you thank you thank you! Other "Christians" accepting this illness against the Third Commandment, is a great source of worry for me.
Holy cow, this is remarkable filmaking. I absolutely love this and will share this film with a lof of my PA groups. I'm a writer and reminds me of my novella, Wasteland. Very cool, If you wanna read a copy, I'd be glad to get you one. It's on Amazon. Just message me and I'll get you one. Great job!!!!!!
In these kinds of flicks, the only thing that counts is the story. If the story is banal, predictable, boring and slow, they are worthless. Try imagination next time. Standard cinematorgraphy, acting, editing, are just a bore.
For a movie like this, that portrays the immediate aftermath of an attack, you need to have actors who are willing to run themselves down by fifteen to twenty percent below the weight they started at to get the effect of the ordeal they're going through. Good work. Thanks.
God told us not to waste our time praying to dead people, it's putting dead people before him which is breaking the first commandment. If you need help you best be asking Our Savior, Yeshua for guidance and strength. Dead people are dead in the ground no one has went to heaven yet they aren't in the arms of angels they're waiting for yeshua's return just as the Church is. The dead who died with salvation, those who were genuinely repentant and obeyed God will be raised up first and then all the other genuine born again Christians.
Survival situation,,,reluctance/hesitancy can get you terminated. Could have happened in this movie. The movie, however, was quite good and I enjoyed it...thank you.
One of the very best. Unlike the typical where all it is ..is young adults savagely killing each other, equipped with usually heavy artillery. Killing, in many cases, for no reason. One pretty much the same as the other. This one, I enjoyed. Wish it could have been longer.
This was a very well made film, I have yet to see any others like it on RU-vid. Very well done, I hope to see films of this caliber in the future, I shall compare them to this one in their use of quality, style, and effects
I like it first time watching in 2020 March 14, very good and emotional movie something that can really happen very good movie it just shows people prepare ahead of time
@jeffbengtson we actually were aware, we tried to locate one of the old metal gas container, becuz that is more plausible to explode, couldnt find one in time so we just stretched reality a bit lol.
In any other era, this adolescent would be a man. The father needs to let him. Together they might have half a chance of protecting their little girl, who will be the cradle for the next generation. That's what it comes down to.
It was ok but as soon as that crazy will guy showed up on the boat he should of shot him and the other guy gone back to the store with the kids,got all the food they could carry and leave,he should'nt of let the guy find them,and at the end where they in a safe camp or some place they would have to work till they dropped,could of at least kept it going that long so you could find out.
