STORY: A terminally ill man spends his last days coping with death and struggles to undo his past sins. While headed to a remote location he stumbles upon a woman. The two become stranded hundreds of miles from civilization. Secrets and lies quickly force them to be suspicious of each other's intentions. They soon discover that they are not alone. Something dark lives in the woods. Something not human and when it arrives there will be no survivors in its wake.

The movie will be a throwback to classic horror films like The Evil Dead (1981) and the Universal Monster movies of the 1930s-50s. It contains elements of a Hitchcock thriller and at the same time delves into the mystery of a Michael Crichton novel. At the core of the film, it explores the darkest corners of fear and horror as it follows a manʼs journey through the last moments of his life. What would you do if your time was up? 

A message from the Screenwriter:

"Writing is a process of self-discovery. Over a year ago I came up with a small concept that would become my film, The Last. At that time, however, it was envisioned as an artistic short film. That would soon change due to some advice from Bruce Campbell’s book If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor.  The book planted a seed that led the short to evolve into a feature film.  After that moment the story also began to evolve into something completely different. As each day passed, I had no clue what was going to transpire in the script. This is not how I usually write scripts. Most of the time I come up with the climax and work my way backwards. This story revolves around a terminally ill man and his final days on Earth. Then he encounters a monster. Lies, mysteries, and the mortality that we will all face are explored in the darkness of the woods from which there seems to be no escape. We could really use your help to make this picture. If you are able to participate with us in making The Last, I know you will be very proud of the final product."

Budget Breakdown

All of the money raised goes directly towards the production of this film. It will be distributed in the most efficient way to produce the best product possible. The filmmakers will not receive a dime, therefore no money goes to waste. The budget covers equipment fees, food, lodging, transportation and compensation for the cast, crew and music production.

Here is a percentage breakdown of the budget: 

Equipment:                 57%

Challenges

A huge challenge that all films face is funding. Without funding, the movie cannot be made. We are set to begin filming in January of 2017. Due to our small budget, our shooting schedule will be 30 days which is a very tight schedule and is being meticulously planned. Additionally, the entire shoot will be outdoors so we will be fighting against the elements. Like anything worth fighting for it won't be easy.

Production

Production begins in January of 2017 in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
