The film tells the story of a self-obsessed young man (Nathan Phillips) as he makes his way to the party-to-end-all-parties on the last day on Earth. However, along the way he ends up saving the life of a little girl named Rose, desperately searching for her father.
Zak Hilditch, who wrote and directed the project, is one of Australia’s foremost up and coming talents. His short film ‘Transmission’, which was made as a companion piece for ‘These Final Days’ Twas nominated for Best Film at the 2013 AACTA Awards and won Best Screenplay.
