Synopsis/Details
A Sci-Fi short (10 minutes) about Billy; a young man experiencing the trauma of an alien invasion of modern day London, that will spark his rebellion at the cost of his humanity.
“The Five Day Invasion” is a visually arresting, psychological piece of drama that thrills and chills.
It is a prequel to “After The Fall” - a full length feature screenplay in development by Mike Lomax - telling Billy’s complete story. From victim of the invasion turned brutal resistance fighter, to survivor of the liberation living with the aftermath of his violent past.
“The Five Day Invasion” will require CGI effects including the depiction of the Trident Ships invasion of London, the chaos, anarchy of pre Fall/Fallen London and the Shark Man, Silvarin monsters. However, the script is mainly restricted to three locations, with a relatively small main cast.
