About
The World Ends in a Week is a dramatic short film following the stories of four young adults - Rory, Alice, Luke, and Joseph - as they learn the imminent end to the earth.
Â
In the story, we follow each character as they figure out how to spend their last days. Whether it be with family, friends, overwhelming traffic, or booze, the characters must discover what it means to not take the time we have for granted.Â
The World Ends in a Week begins production in July, 2026
