🎬 The Story Behind the Film
Life After Man is a completed feature film — fully shot, edited, and now deep into post-production. What started as a bold indie vision has become something raw, cinematic, and emotionally grounded.
We’re now raising funds to cross the finish line and give this film the final polish it deserves.

With your help, we can complete:
🎧 Dialogue Editing – Clean, crisp dialogue that carries every beat of tension
🔊 Sound Design – The eerie, immersive world of the infected, brought to life through layered atmosphere
🎨 Colour Grade – A rich, cinematic look that captures the haunting beauty of post-collapse Australia
🌿 Why This Film?
Set against a collapsed world, Life After Man follows two sisters fighting to survive — and trust each other — in isolation. It’s a story about family, fear, and holding onto hope when everything else is gone.
Think The Road meets It Comes at Night, with a uniquely Australian lens — and a grounded sibling bond at its emotional core.

🎥 Where We’re At
This isn’t a “maybe someday” project — Life After Man is already shot, edited, and story-locked. Your support will directly fund the final post elements needed to complete the film and prepare it for release.
All funds raised go toward the last essential steps:
✅ Dialogue Editor
✅ Sound Designer
✅ Colour Grading

🙏 Why We Need You
Independent filmmaking doesn’t come with safety nets. We’ve stretched every dollar to get this far — now we’re asking for your help to bring the final vision to life.
If you love slow-burn post-apocalyptic stories, powerful female leads, and emotionally driven thrillers — this is your film.
Back Life After Man and help us finish what we started.
