Fallout
Set in a post-apocalyptic future where a cataclysmic war is waged daily on American soil, 'Fallout' focuses on the investigation into a failed mission by a Department of Homeland Security counter-terrorism team - the 'Wild Cards' - to stop a group of terrorists with a suitcase nuke in the ruins of Phoenix, Arizona. After the smoke clears, a tough-as-nails military investigator examines for evidence that the Wild Cards may have been betrayed by one of their own - via questioning and a brutal holographic memory extraction process - though he may have his own agenda. An epic science fiction action thriller inspired by '24,' 'Stargate SG-1,' 'The Wire,' and 'Minority Report,' 'Fallout' was shot entirely on greenscreen and blends digital matte paintings and CGI to create a fully immersive futuristic world. The film was produced by the students and faculty of the University of Advancing Technology's Digital Video Program. 31 students worked on this project for more than a year. Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Paul DeNigris, who also served as the faculty supervisor of the student team.
