ABOUT This World Alone is an independent feature film about three women living in seclusion following a cataclysmic event that left the Earth without technology or power. Sam (Belle Adams), a book- obsessed girl in her late teens, is raised by her strict, “only the strong survive” mother, Connie (Carrie Walrond Hood), and their optimistic, earthy friend Willow (Sophie Edwards). After Willow suffers a life-threatening injury, it’s up to Sam to head out of her protective home for the first time and journey to a settlement a few days away to collect medical supplies. Along the way she meets Dart (Lau’rie Roach), a weak young man out on a “walkabout” attempting to prove himself to his community. The two of them come of age together as they face the physical and emotional challenges of a world reclaimed by nature. The film was shot over 10 days in beautiful Hiawassee, Ga in August of 2017 with a cast & crew of 25 people living and working together under one roof. A final cut of the film was completed by February 2018, followed by a successful Seed & Spark crowd-funding campaign in April to raise finishing funds. These funds are currently being used to finalize visual FX, color correction, score, and sound design with a finished film estimated for July. A film-festival and sales campaign will begin in Fall 2018. 3 CREDITS Directed by . .Jordan . Noel A Camera Operators . Josiah Morgan Written by . Hudson Phillips . Trisha Solyn Produced by . Terri.

I was looking for an opportunity to work with them. And the female-centered storyline. And they cast my child (daughter and star, Belle Adams). Lau’rie “Re” Roach (Actor, “Dart”): I am a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, sci-fi, and it was my very first feature! Also, I wasn’t given the usual “Thug”, “Drug Dealer,” or “Troubled Teen” role. Dart had layers to him that I could relate to and it was a character that I thought I would never get the op- portunity to play.
