What happened that lead to the fall of America? The reasons are complicated and deeply rooted, but Americans did nothing to stop it.

In early 2019 we were planning on doing a film called The Survivors Legend of the Black Rider, which got delayed to 2020, which ultimately got cancelled altogether. However the construction of this Cabin was already halfway done so Randy decided to finish the Cabin in hopes to still use it in a different film in 2021. In this video he explains how he came to make this modular film set out of an old Cedar fence. It is a unique structure as it is designed to come apart and be reassembled elsewhere.

In this episode of REKtrospect, Randy discusses his experience using. the Sony HXR-X80. Let's see why a camera that is a couple years old can be very useful today. Find the HXr-NX80 on B an H https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1362801-REG/sony_hxr_nx80_full_hd_xdcam.html Sony A6500 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Alpha-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera/dp/B01M586Y9R/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34BHVKVL8TCH6&dchild=1&keywords=sony+a6500&qid=1600920037&sprefix=SOny+A6500%2Caps%2C235&sr=8-1

Thanks Team Survivors for the many great memories.

The World has gone crazy, walling off the big cities with Dictators calling the shots. Many people are left to fend for themselves outside the cities. A young Woman finds herself facing a band of Marauders in the Outlands. But she has a plan for her life in the desert. And she intends to make it known. This film was made with no budget. We simply gathered the resources we had and made a quick and dirty short in one weekend. A total shoot time of 13 hours. Hopefully we can bring Calestra into another film down the road.

The last surviving member of a doomed expedition finds him desperately trying to tell the world of the impending horror they unleashed before it's too late. This film was an idea we had back in 2007 and actually made it as a concept film back in 2008 but poorly executed it so we decided to remake it. We shot it in about a 2.5 hour window with $0. It was just a camera operator and an actor. No crew no help, and edited in one week during our off time. We shot it on the Sony HXR NX80 and the Sony A6500 mirroless paired with an old Canon FD mount Vivitar 35-85mm lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVAkkMwfWsQ&feature=youtu.be
