It's fabulous to hear that writer/director April Phillips' latest short The Last Man On Earth has been selected to screen at Screamfest, the largest and longest running horror film festival in the US. Filmed at Wellington's Avalon Film and Television Studios, The Last Man On Earth is a timely story set in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Phillips was concerned that there wouldn't be an appetite for this kind of premise right now, but believes the film's core theme, about the worth of people with disabilities, lifts the pandemic storyline to another level. The festival is due to take place in October at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and Phillips is hoping the real-life pandemic will be well and truly over by then so that she can attend the screening of her own pandemic story!
