Would you survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland?
In this professionally shot sci-fi short, a woman traveling by herself through a devastated post-apocalyptic wasteland does what is necessary to survive. The film, though heavy on aesthetic and light on plot, is terrific when you consider that the short started out as a camera test of a Monstro 8K camera and morphed into the film “Epoc.”
The filming locations for the film feature a now-closed iron mine and several places in California to include the Salton Sea and Indio. The result is a grand sense of scale combined with drop-dead gorgeous visuals.
The ending of “Epoc” is a great bonus too as I did not see it coming which is always nice.
