I know this was made 9 years ago, but I'm going to comment anyway. What a great treat the algorithms sent me!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. Things have changed quite significantly since this film. My first feature is releasing in America and around the world in the coming months. Check out Northspur/Battle Cabin :)
@@AaronFalveyFalvation I certainly will!
Not bad. Couple of things: the cell phone would be fried be the EMP (Electromagnet Pulse) generated by nuclear bomb; the radio wouldn't work. He did well defending himself. It sounds harsh but you can't let mugger number three leave. His life was forfeit when they tried to take his. He would be a ongoing threat.
That's all good David. I appreciate your thoughts. That's exactly what the film aims to do. Let people think about the decisions an everyman would make if placed in his position.
He survived more by luck than skill, intelligence or knowledge. A perfect representation of a 1ST world apocalypse.
And that’s exactly what I was trying to achieve by showing an everyman trying to survive such an event
@@AaronFalveyFalvation Well done though. I'm sorry I forgot to say that part. I did enjoy the movie.
He was a good fighter though.
This movie is a good example of what not to do when in proximity to a nuclear detonation . Note: 1.retain all resources, 2.seek protection from radioactive fallout 3. obtain all water and food needs, 4. seak heat , fire or energy 5. avoid conflict.
You forgot Point 6. It's a film ;)
We are...unfortunately it seems...not meant to be alone. It's when we have companionship, love, a child, a pet, someone or something to depend on or to depend on us, that we excel. You hear, "Money makes the world go 'round." But it doesn't. You see the richest people tend to be miserable. But the poorest who have genuine love or companionship tend to be not only the happiest, but also the healthiest. We all crave time to ourselves, but it's only temporarily. No...we are not meant to me alone.
Well said and that's the moral of this story and film. Thanks for watching and commenting.

😊
Very Well Sad ☺️
It's about time they put some good movies on UA-cam. Now that one made since. 👍👍
Thanks Sherry! I very much appreciate that. Make sure you check out some of my newer films!
One of the better 'Post Apocalyptic' films I've watched in these 'Pre Apocalyptic' times, good effects and some fine camera work. the fight scene well choreographed. Especially like the frantic trying to open the Swiss Army knife.
If I had one criticism, a short back story of him being dropped off by bus (or similar), as my first thought was "go get your car dude", minor detail though.
Thanks man. I appreciate the feedback! Yeah that could have worked doing it your way but we choose to keep it a bit more 'here in the moment' and try to give people a sense of being alone. Hope you felt like :)
They missed one tiny detail. His phone should've died. EMP.
Finally -- a post-apocalyptic film with a 'happy' ending. As if...
Great job; thanks for sharing it on youtube.
You're welcome!
well done it's refreshing to see a film that doesn't rely on straight and violence to hold the audience's attention seems there was actually some thought put into the making of this especially seeing as how you say there was no budget I think you've done an excellent job
Thank you so much for your feedback. It's always refreshing to read positive comments like this. It's why we make films :)
Enjoyed your short film, a good dose of what lies ahead for this Country unless a miracle happens to change the direction!
Thanks for your thoughts, Jay. I don't think a nuclear attack is anything to worry about in New Zealand. But I agree something does need to be done about the Direction the country is headed.
Some of these short survival films are completly unreal. This one was very believable and well done.
Mack Loyd thanks so much for your feedback!
I so agree.
I hope he doesn't stay alone and go to the next town, surely there's more people alive if he survived and didn't even experience a shock wave 🤦♀️
Ok he finally finds out he's not alone 🤣 yea!
But that doesn't mean I won't like it, we'll see. I'm still watching .. I'm at the part where he's sharpening a stick.
No ' criticism ' here .... the absolute BEst apocalyptic movie I've seen thus far , and I've watched many. Awesome man ! Keep them coming !
Thank you so much Alison. That really means a lot! I'm a massive fan of the genre. I think you should keep an eye on this film. It's coming out next year and it's my first full length feature! www.imdb.com/title/tt8709312/
Why does everyone carry a backpack but NO supplies!
In this case, he was only out on a day trip.
🤣
When he threw the phone he just lost all of his photos of family, friends and precious memories. Now that thing that gave him hope is smashed.
Damn straight. A moment of weakness. But don't worry all his images were backed up to the cloud 😂
@Otto Sump Well, solar charger.
It was all over for me once he destroyed his phone in a fit of anger. Doesn't deserve to survive and most likely wouldn't. Such a common device and way over used. Patience and courage is what you will need to survive.
No way to recharge it anyway.
@@davisinperu There are solar power banks/chargers about the size of a cell phone.. They work by sunlight. :) I hae 6 of them for emergencies.
Enjoyed this. Wondered why he didn't hike back to his Prius.
Thanks Cat. The idea behind that was that he was in the middle of nowhere and the blade came from his town, unsure where to go.
Everything electronical would be fried by e.m.p. from the nuke.
Lame. NEVER leave an enemy alive. They come back for revenge you know. "The only enemy that won't keep me awake at night, is the dead one." ~Ryan Cawdor~, Deathlands series
You're wrong in this instance. ;)
I ve read those books. Semper Fi
I read those books, loved them and wish I could find them again.
You're assuming he should behave in a perfect way. This is not a documentary about how to survive. It's a short movie about someone who is not perfect and won't make all of the right decisions.
This is amazing film i dont know why people don't hit like.
Thanks so much!
irony: he used to go there to get away now there's nothing to get away from, he used to go there to be alone now he is alone.
Was alone... Now saved!
@@richgreen7286 don't about the rest of the world,, but i carry nuff stuff in my day hike pack to last me a week,, old saying:: better safe than sorry..
Tip for nuclear survival films: light travels faster than sound. The flash alerts you, the sound arrives a few seconds later. Apparently he was too far away for a serious blast wave. Which is why he doesn't have radiation issues. Giardia, on the other hand, is everywhere.
Thanks for taking the time comment. I never knew that. But I want to make it clear that was not the purpose of this film to make everything factually correct about the nuclear blast, it was merely to set the scene for the character so we can understand his situation and experience his feeling of being alone.
I really enjoyed this Aaron! Even the fight scene was realistic. Talk about production on a low budget! Well done!
Thank you so much! Your feedback is very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
One of the better short movies I have seen in my opinion.
Thank you I’ve certainly come a long way since these days. Over 10 years ago now which is crazy. Hope you get to check out some of my newer films on my channel :)
So awesome! Well done!👏👏👏
Thanks so much Sarah. People like You enjoying my film is why I make them :)
that...was amazing, a ride of emotions. fantastic job my friend, please do make more films you are an emotion grabber.
Thanks so much! I've actually made 17 films lol. You can watch them on my channel under my Falvation Films playlist and you can hear more about my future films through my website www.aaronfalvey.com including my new feature film Northspur :)
2024 watching this film, really well written, I liked the story, the actor was believable, and of course somebody else has to be alive out there. And no zombies! Great job, hope you're still around. 😊
Still round thank you! Appreciate the feedback. My first feature film (also post apocalyptic) drops on iTunes and Google on October 10th. Check out Northspur trailer on my channel!
Oh, a story with a happy end. I like that!
Isn't it nice 🙂
Never never never hold your water container upside down to see if it is empty. Walking sticks have multiple uses. Never leave it behind.
He did all the wrong things. Part of the frustration I wanted to bring to the film.
Those wild leaves and fruits that he ate, are those correct? Studying that footage could save a life on day, it it's correct.
In contrast to all the commentators who seem to have PhD's in post-apocalyptic science, this movie depicts quite well I think, how an average smart-ish guy might fare in that specific situation, if caught by surprise (we're not all Nostradamus you know, some of us will not expect the nuke).
I found this movie to be satisfactory, even informative. Thanks. I am writing an apocalyptic audiobook called Apophis, this helps.
Hi Jan. Appreciate the comments. Its positive comments like this which encourage me to continue making films. The wild leaves and fruit were all based on edible foods in New Zealand. However in the safety of our actor and not being survivalists, we used lettuce leaves for the wild leaves and grapes to look like gooseberries. I'd love to know more about your audiobook. Sounds fascinating, all the best!
Great film but the real bass heavy narration makes it hard to understand.
All good man. Was very much an experimental style film. You should check out some of my later projects. The level is far greater
Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory at the start of the film, It Sounded like it to me! Cheers for the upload.
No worries! Thats exactly what I thought when I picked the track. I really enjoy it and think it works well. I hope you enjoyed!
What a great short film!
Thank you
Thank you so much!
This is great. Well put together in editing. The fight sequence is nicely done with the use of the knife a great detail. (as the knife appeared earlier in the film). The video here has a definite Jack London influence.
Thanks for your comments. I've never read any Jack London books, so interesting comment. Glad you enjoyed it. It took me a year to put together and was truly an international cast and crew which was the first time I have ever directed an actor remotely (narrative).
Aaron Falvey Jack London was known for the "man vs. man" or "man vs. nature theme", so that's why I brought the name up. Wow, an international cast and crew. That's amazing. I've done only local films while worked with others in different states in America. I like doing horror along with horror/comedy.
Cool mortalhellion yeah I am from New Zealand. I used an American writer, actor for the narration and a VFX artist for the explosion. Everyone else involved came from NZ. Thanks for watching my film. How did you come across it?
Aaron Falvey There's a lot of great countryside in New Zealand... ideal for different backgrounds. I don't remember how I came across your video here except that I like to find different short films on this website.
I write, edit and direct all the videos while I use my friends as actors. Sometimes I take on smaller roles myself . I also have my own resident make-up artist for more practical effects.
Excellent mortalhellion! Keep up the good work. I'll check out your films on your page.
Should have gone through that house after you killed those guys. Might have found better fire arms and more things to survive with.
Might take more than 2 weeks to learn to do it right... he said earlier that he was no survivalist
There was a blanket on the couch I would have grabbed.
A clean shirt and socks, look through the medicine chest, clean water would be in the water heater-at least 30 gallons, firearms, a blanket, dry goods like tea and sugar, a lighter, more knives from the kitchen, I would have loaded up that backpack. Tear down the shower liner for rain protection. I'd get it done.
Hey ,he has a Swiss army knife ! And only cut one hand so far!
Hope you got through the rest of it Henry and watched him grow as a survivalist.
That was a well done short film by far better than most. As a survivalist myself I every day carry a few items myself and one is a sak.
Thanks so much. Tried to go for raw and realistic.
Thanks so much. Tried to go for raw and realistic.
@@AaronFalveyFalvation You succeeded. Really good film, Aaron. 🙂👍
The saw on a SAK is surprisingly capable. Guess that's the century of R&D talking.
What kind of backpack is that?
2fukWu it was the cheapest one I could afford for my budget! It was a Katmandu branded one. Unsure of the model sorry.
didn't mean to rile anyone. I can see it was someone who was prepaired. It was a good video. I just am too OCD about these things since my little one was born. God bless and keep'em comming. Thanks for posting!
Thanks Joshua. Make sure you subscribe so you can keep an eye out for the feature film adaption of this film :)
Pretty good, I am glad you had a pocket knife. Most young folks these days don't have one with them .
Thanks David. Appreciate the feedback! And yes a pocket knife could save your life!
@Andrew K is it?
@Andrew K agreed! And thanks for supporting and liking the film. I think you'd like some of my latter films as well. Check out my Falvation Films playlist if you wanna see more films :)
Growing the beard in the film made for a nice effect to create a passing of time.
Really? Was it the facial hair? I didn't want to assume people knew it was exactly 2 weeks.
I liked very much . Zenk you Aaron. Salute of the peruvians.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching. I'd love for you to check some of my later work out on my channel. Have a wonderful day!
Nice job bro. Good stuff
Thanks bro. I appreciate that :)
y does the recording have service
Movie logic.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when the guys ambushed him.
Lol you should have seen the audience when I screened this film in the cinema. You weren't the only one 😂
Really, I thought it was kind of telegraphed.
I'm a sucker for those jump shots..
I need a jolt once in awhile.
Perhaps they should have unplugged the range in the house scene, it still was displaying the time...
You have an amazing eye for detail. I didn't even notice that lol! Good work!
Neat work guys!
Very good continuity Shane, I was keeping an eye on that. Interesting using a Buller/West Coast map and having an international cast narrate. Adds a whole different element.
Look forward to more shorts.
Chuuuuuuuuur!
No answer on phone,Life is over! This guy doesn't have much of a chance
True story! I'm so glad he survived :)
Where was the shock wave?
tom reta decided it was too minimal to show based on the distance
Excellent! I really enjoyed this and it was extremely well done.
Awesome, thank you! Feedback like this encourages me to do more. I have a post-apocalyptic film coming out later this year. You should check out the trailer on my channel, NORTHSPUR!
How were his electronics still working?
It's a movie so we can write what we like and people will believe it. :)
Good flick. But, I must point out one thing. Please take this as constructive as it may help in your next flick. Milli-Seconds before that nuke went off, his phone would have been toast. All Nuclear devices will emit an extremely powerful EMP (Electro-Magnetic-Pulse) shortly before Thermo-Nuclear Detonation. An EMP completely fries all unshielded electronics. Other than that, everything else was pretty much spot on. Nice job!
Thanks very much for the feedback Todd. We weren't really aiming to be too accurate with how it actually be in real life. But the thought process at the time was to create a situation where the blast was a long way away (hence how small the blast appears in the film) so that it wouldn't cause damage to him aka a safe distance from the blast zone. In saying that I have no idea how far an EMP would travel, do you?
@@AaronFalveyFalvation A low yield air blast at 1000 feet would allow the EMP to extend around 40 miles. A ground blast would be around 3 miles. In 1962, a high altitude, 1.4 Megaton warhead was detonated at approximately 250 miles up. The EMP caused electrical damage 930 miles away. There is a lot of wiggle room with EMPs because we have to take into account the explosive yield, type of material and altitude/distance. I appreciate your reply! Keep up the good work and, I'm looking forward to more from you and your team!
@@ToddHofer thanks Todd. Your expertise might be useful for our feature film we are making in November based around the aftermath of an EMP strike. Love to pick your brains sometime! Also.. you need to check out my latest work, this was shot back in 2013! I've improved a little since this ;)
Maybe the Falvation Films playlist? All my short films :)
@@AaronFalveyFalvation That actually sounds pretty awesome! I'd love to help!
Great little film, excellent actor
very good I love these movies that make you think
Thanks so much for your feedback and thanks for watching! Please feel free to check my other films out!
Back years ago, there was a movie called (depending on the country) No blade of grass, or No grass grows. In it the good people killed others for food, and at least one unit of the military, was killing anyone for food.
I can’t say I’ve seen it and what the reference was to my film. Assume they are similar?
@@AaronFalveyFalvation Mainly that people will turn against each other in a crisis such as a "end of society" as we know it. Without law, people become animals fighting over most anything.
The basic concept of Freedom is something to carefully consider.For many, it's the LAST thing they want,- being obligated and tied down makes them feel needed and GROUNDED.That's fine, but be aware that the people you choose to surround yourself with might have different priorities and agendas, and consider how some of the things that seem to offer autonomy and flexibility can also be a burden and a trap.This is very true when choosing an S.O.; it can alter your path indefinitely.
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
I get the idea, but kind of felt like a guy just living in a field for awhile with poor survival instincts. I guess not everyone is ok with being alone, but he went hiking alone basically so.... No feeling of urgency really; therefore, his dialogue at the end was lost on me. It’s hard to feel sorry for him also when the people in the city were likely going through actual suffering. Also, why didn’t he try another city? Or look for a rural house. Those are scattered everywhere, especially outside of a city. I live in the actual boonies of Mississippi and I still can’t go far without finding a house or a farm.
I live in Ohio in the boonies 20 Miles out to be exact away from another house or Royal road. I prefer living alone I've actually been called a hermit but I can walk all day an not see another liveing soul. If I wasn't killed by radiation I actually think I could survive it.
Well this film was shot in New Zealand and if you know the layout of our landscape and geographical location, it would be a tough ask to find another town. What's not explained is how many nuclear bombs went off. Anyway it's kind of the point that this everyman doesn't make all the right decisions and there are some consequences.
Very good short film.
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it very much.
Definitely worth a follow! You have great potential 💚
Thank you. I hope you check out some of my more recent films :)
Thank you Wicca! I hope you get a chance to watch some of my more recent films. This one is quite old now :)
Nice one. I hope you do more in the future. Could explore different scenarios. Urban, rural, dessert and such.
I like the heart felt speech at the end.
One thing that made it plausible was you gradually became filthy.
Si Mulgrave thanks so much for taking the time to give me the feedback. I'd really love to do some more scenarios involving more nuclear strikes. The reason I haven't done anything other than rural is the shear expense to produce something. I'd certainly love to and if you have any ideas let me know. :)
Great short. 🌟
Thanks so much!
At times as these, we can only pray that we eNd uP with folks with love, compassion, and Good will towards all as man found. Awesome❗❗❗short, but full of thing to think about. Thank you❗💯. This was a treat.

Thank you so much Elaine! I really appreciate it.
Don't rely on any government for help. This is more likely to happen than you may realize.
Scary thought right!
I've just watched a very bad post apocalyptic short about a guy walking alone in the woods, and this felt like part two of that.
Except it was better and had a story right?
@@AaronFalveyFalvation Well... you know what people say. Second parts of movies tend to be crap, or in this case, crappier.
@@Lucas_Tulic well I am prividged to know you wasted your time watching it. But I'm pretty sure my newer work will hold your interest. Challenge laid...
First thought was"that dude is just out for a hike the way hes dressed" then the mushroom cloud appeared and it made sense. Liked the way it was just a normal day then, bam..he was alone. Shame he didnt have a Zippo, then he could have boiled some water at least. I liked it though, good job.
Hey Penny! Thanks for the wonderful feedback. I really appreciate the watch. Please be sure to check out some of my more recent films too. You might enjoy them too :)
No shock waves from the nuke ? The music after the mushroom cloud had me thinking that it was coming ! Otherwise ; very , very good ; & thought provoking 👍 !
Thanks Jim. I really appreciate the feedback. This was an ultra-low budget film so we just had to make do with what we had for the production. Making physical shockwaves was a little complex in our remote location and I don't think VFX would have sold it.
A swiss army knife, first aid kit, paracord, metal cantine, backpack, combine that with a bit of knowledge, and he is better of than most.
So true! Best to go somewhere prepared!
Smashy2009 damnnn .. i agree
Dead man with a backpack, he's best start looking for food and fire.
he did well in the end didnt he?
Hes alone then who is filming🤔
Lol.really DOC really. It's just a movie use your imagination. Some of the comments on here crack me up lol .
@@sherrysmith3538 yeah i know

Aaron Falvey , I found it on UA-cam. and I loved it. thanks for posting it.
william carnley you are most welcome!
One comment. Light travels faster then sound do should he not have seen the light flash before hearing the sound?
If that's your only sticking point, I'm pleased :)
For the sake of the viewer, we made it like it is.
@@AaronFalveyFalvation yep that was the only problem. Otherwise, pretty good job.
@@jeffmiller1159 awesome. Thanks. Also just thought I'd take a moment to do some shameless promotion. I have my first feature film coming out later this year. Post-apocalyptic action. Have a sneak peek www.northspurfilm.com
I happen to be half owner and an Instructor of a Wilderness Living School. This WAS a survival film. He survived, until he was rescued. He would NEVER have been able to live in the wilderness though. Too many stupid moves and a writer who doesn't know anything about the outdoors except that grass is green.
Hey Olden Times. Appreciate the feedback. I'm glad my film encouraged you to comment as constructive feedback is very useful for us. This film was made a while ago and we are now looking at turning this concept into a feature. We are always looking for ways to improve. Perhaps you would like to jump on board as an advisor of some sort to suggest ways the scenes we create are more realistic? Let me know.
@@AaronFalveyFalvation
Hey Aaron,
Yeah, I could do that. I love teaching people about the wilderness and learning how to work with nature to survive and live. It's sad that modern mankind has become so unfamiliar with our natural environment.
I think your out of New Zealand, right? About the only thing I couldn't give advice on would be your local edible plants and the wildlife that is peculiar to NZ. Anything else you might want to know though feel free to ask.
Also, I realize the guy in your film was untrained, which is why it was about survival, which you did do VERY well, because (as was the point) he made a lot of mistakes that "Joe Blow" would make. As you can tell by my last sentence, I am not a writer, but I think you will get the meaning.
Which brings up what I said about your writer. There was a reason why I wrote what I did, but would have to watch the film again to remember. Anyway, my apologies, as I am sure he knows more about the outdoors than green grass.
I guess there is a way to private message on here, but I have never done it. If you come up with something I can help you with I guess pm would be the way to go for further contact.
@@oldentimes236 There is very few people who could survive in the wilderness over night let alone for a month or two. When I go hunting I always pack enough for 3 days in my pack. Thank God I have never had to use it.
@@TheDrummerman1951 True. True. Very smart on taking food hunting, you just never know. I know hunters who just walk in with nothing more than their weapon, tags and an orange vest.
I usually pack my Scout-Kit (and I don't mean boy scout) and a trauma kit ( a real one with decompression needles, chest seals, etc.) along with my everyday carry items for wilderness emergencies. I also carry three days food even though I may be only a half mile from the hunting camp. Also in my Scout Kit (which never leaves my body) I have two 2500 cal. food bars.
My food supplies would only be used in case of immobility and I could (with my body's stored energy) stretch that out to a month if I had to. If I was mobile I would go straight to small game traps, snares, fishing, etc.
Where people screw the pooch is they do not practice. I regularly (during the winter) camp out in snow storms. I am talking about walking out into my back yard and setting up a camp during a snow storm and sleeping there. Ten day fasts two or three times a year are another good way to train and get rid of that unwanted pdding. It gets you psychologically fit for lean times. Setting up camp and getting a fire going in a torrential down pour builds hella confidence. There is an old Marine saying "If it ain't rainin' we ain't trainin'".
This was pretty good.😊
Thank you!
Oh dear.....
Good luck with future projects.
Thank you. It’s gone pretty well. Just successfully sold our first feature to Lionsgate. :)
I enjoyed this short film.. Kudios 2 thumbs up.!
Keith Arnold thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. It really means a lot hearing someone tell me they enjoyed my film.
Are you going to make more or do you have any other, or how about a continue off of that 1.?
Great film, nice change to see an upbeat ending.

Nathanael Lestari Thanks so much Nathanael! Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Well done and held my interest. Can someone please tell me who did the music?
Thanks for your feedback. This film was very experimental for me. The music was royalty free music purchased
from a from a series of websites. Kevin McCloud www.incompetech.com featured in this film too. Sorry I made it 5 years ago now and don't have the project files to give you the track names.
Great film, happy end.

Good short movie.
Thanks for the love!
Pretty good although he was probably too close to avoid serious fall out but heck, this is the up coming new Hollywood, right? 😉👍
Thank you.
Damn straight. If we can make New Zealand the next Hollywood I will be quietly happy :)
Good movie mate, props to all involved, Marlborough NZ represent. Hope you plan an expansion on this theme.
Cheers Dane. Much appreciated! Yeah we are exploring a feature film on this concept. :)
Aaron, one of the ways I judge a movie is this...was it a waste of my time or not? This piece wasn't a waste of my time. I enjoyed it - thanks - New Subscriber
Awesome stuff Daniel. I really appreciate that and hope you enjoyed the other short films I have on my page :)
Chemtrails in the background should be a dead giveaway and yes I look for that all the time I am very aware of my surroundings
Good man!
when will we get the full version
Panda it's funny you ask. We are currently exploring the opportunity of developing this into a feature :)
i would have gone home or somewhere to get news on what happened. maybe too the next town not hit by the blast for supply's or something. you can't survive with just a knife.
You can... but it ain't easy
Lots of questions to be asked. I have noticed no one is asking who did it?
Not bad but why do i get a mister bean survives the end of the world theme
I'm not sure. Why do you think you get that vibe?
Cant make a phone call after just 2 hours. Time to smash my phone. Couldnt possible be my phone. The world must have ended.
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! I guess at the end of the day , everyone is wired differently and this was the choice we decided for this character. :)
Lol just thought it was funny. I'm a huge fan of post apocalyptic scenarios and probably hold them up a little too close to the light sometimes but I just like them to keep my suspension of disbelief in tact throughout. Good amature short besides that though.
@@MrIncredible303 thanks man. Was a no budget film. This film is currently being developed for a feature length version of this concept. Elements will change but it should be interesting. Make sure you subscribe if you want updates :)
Will do and if you will take any advice finding out that you're one of the few people left around would have just as many perks as it does downfalls. Much like when the char enjoys the beer he can also realize that he has just inherited every lamborghini and mansion and grocery store around. I would have a blast in that world.
@@MrIncredible303 hahaha sure man .if I had money I'd make that happen :)
Did anyone else wonder why they put "The next day" when it clearly went from darkness to light? ?😂😂😂 that was kinda funny...
Did anyone notice there was time frames inserted throughout the entire film? 😂
@@AaronFalveyFalvation hahahaha!
@@AaronFalveyFalvation they have really Short nights there
Going into an 'empty' house without checking it out fully before drinking their beer!? Good move! Then at the end, walking across an extremely open meadow not very long after you've been attacked by foragers!? And NOT finding shelter before exhausting yourself into a deep sleep? Also, good move!
This is what happened to an everyman without the essential survival skills.
Great job with the story! Well done sir. 👏
The only critique I could offer is do your research on the UN. Not the stuff your govt tells you, but the real truth about why they UN was created. It's ashame in this day and age, especially what we're currently experiencing, that people STILL don't know the evil behind this organization.
Great story though, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I could live alone. Actually I crave to live alone. In the past few decades I have seen lots of people who have changed generations to generations. I
They were not evolving they were degenerating. Now the world looks like a cesspool of the dead.
Wilderness in uk lol....I would want to walk to the nearest town ..
Hahaha. I guess they are similar but this is in New Zealand! :)
Pulling your phone out and trying to phone someone after a nuclear explosion, seems a bit pointless. The networks and phone electronics would have been totally fried by the explosion...😲😲
That's exactly right. But not everyone knows that. Especially our protagonist. But that is the point, to frustrate audiences with his decisions he makes as an everyman.
Take care your self and love those who love you, 😀
Nice!
If he could see it less than 15 miles. Close enough for emp to wipe the cpu clean or burn it out. he was closer than that as it was clearly not far on the horizon. At sea level you can see for 15 miles due to the curvature od the earth. didn't you go to science class is middle school Aaron Falvey?
Never learnt about nuclear blasts lol. Anyway don't get too caught up over the finer points. The scene has been set for the film and is minor to the story :)
Well he found people in the end. a nice happy ending ad I did enjoy the film.
I was told that all electronics within a 200 mile radius of an nuclear explosion would cease to function due to the EMP pluses that get emitted in such events.
Even modern cars would cease to work. But the military has stuff that is resistant to such events so don't worry and hopefully it never will if we can get the world to see sense, and stop banging the metaphorical and psychological war drums.
Thanks for watching Jeremy. I appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Keep an eye out for a possible feature film development!
Devices with exposed wires longer than 12 to 18 inches MAY be knocked out. Cars with electronics for certain. Keep at least one vehicle with good old points ignition for just such an occasion. However, EMP is not severe in near ground bursts. EMP is the result of firing a device at very high altitude in the magnetic field lines of the Earth. THAT has an effect over wide areas. But, even that is NOT a 100% hit. Some stuff will work, some will not. It will be spotty. These things are mostly misinformation to keep the public scared, perpetrated by our unseen puppet masters. There is a lot of mythology about nuclear events, solar flairs and plagues. It is a symptom of our pathetically nihilistic times. Believe it or not, most of us will survive an initial atomic attack. Whoa to those enemy paratroopers that try to take the land after that. Russians on the east coast, Chinese on the west. USA, obviously. They will find it is a fact that there is a fire arm behind every blade of grass and two people who know how to use it.
Yesyesyes

I'm sure if he had a gun he'd throw It away when it was empty.
Makes sense.
Throw it away then find ammo = stupid
very good with a happy ending
Barbara Stoebel thank you Barbara for the feedback. What did you like about the film which made it enjoyable for you?
even when everything is falling apart - there is hope and a chance - he made it. it is one possibility of thousands others.
i like the survivings of good people.
Awesome thank you for the feedback, its helps me to develop as a filmmaker.
+Barbara Stoebel hey Barbara. I forgot to ask..Ive had a huge increase in views on this film. I was wondering if you can recall where you found the link to this film? Either through social media page or website or just on UA-cam?
I searched just on YT
Why do ppl always fight during a war with zombies or monsters or aliens lol...wth we r susposed to ban together..
It's because it's based on fiction and not real life and in a lot of ways, seeing someone struggle is more interesting for the viewer than seeing them make all the right choices we'd typically make :) thanks for watching
