Production has kicked off in South-East Queensland, Australia, on the sci-fi thriller 1, which comes from writer/director Robert Braiden. The story follows a man who must survive the ruins of Earth after an alien invasion as he searches for the love of his life.
Braiden explains, “1 is unique in that it truly shows the very last person on earth – literally no one else is left. Films such as The Quiet Earth; I Am Legend; The World, The Flesh and The Devil all hint that they are last-person-on-earth films; yet, all end up introducing other characters. 1 is different. From the action and dangerous excitement of high-speed racing to the quiet and solitude of the natural world, 1 will be a profoundly moving and powerful look at life, love, destiny, and being able to let go of the material world in order to find new truths.”
Producer Tristan Barr adds, “1 is set to be the most original, exciting, and even groundbreaking independent science-fiction feature film ever produced in Australia. A big-screen film that not only will showcase some of the most stunning scenery here, it will also move and inspire audiences with its universal story of love and forgiveness.”
Written, produced, and directed by Robert Braiden, 1 stars Dan Ewing. It is expected to come out in 2018.
Synopsis:
Reckless car hooner Darren (Dan Ewing) lives for the thrill of high-speed highway racing and burnouts. His life is going nowhere fast while his adoring girlfriend, Misha, dreams of them settling down and for Darren to do something more meaningful with his life. When Darren causes a car crash that injures Misha, she decides to leave.
Now alone and guilt-ridden, Darren is forced to confront his behavior until the arrival of an alien invasion throws his life into chaos as humanity is quickly wiped out. His love for Misha compels him to begin a long and dangerous journey to find her; and along the way he must survive alone in the wild, battle his guilt, and stay one step ahead of the alien ships that relentlessly search for him.
