1. Film Synopsis – Out of the Woods
My film is set 20 years into the future and civilization and society as we
know it has fallen apart due to the zombie apocalypse. There are survivors
to the apocalypse, and they are taking refuge in different abandoned
buildings and shelters and homes. My film follows one member of a cult
who happened to survive the apocalypse. The member my film follows
does not share the same beliefs as the others and only came to join the
cult to take refuge from the huge massacre going on outside.
The cult itself are a doomsday cult who preached to everyone about the
end of times. They believe that the doomsday gods spared them from
death and therefore they must repay them with sacrifices every 6 months,
or they will get their impending death.
The film follows the member who was sacrificed, and their journey to
sanctuary in the city. They were given nothing to survive, as it is a
sacrifice, and they are not meant to survive so they have only the clothes
on their back. They come across some people who made shelter in the
woods and the people are kind and offer them food and water and some
sort of weapon for their journey, but there is not enough resources for
them to stay.
They make it to the city with no major injuries and they find their old
apartment which means they are safe from the zombies… for now.
However the cult is not safe because the sacrifice was not complete and
the zombies invade and they don’t make it.
