Speaking with The Blogboard Jungle, Lombardo talked about the long process of making the film and finding locations for the exterior shots in the film about a post-apocalyptic earth where a mother and son are trying to survive. With a budget of $11000 dollars, Lombardo put in a lot of effort to produce the award-winning film. A win at the convention has proven fruitful for filmmakers when you look at films like
Bad Frank that won at the
first one last year and the exposure it got thereafter. Remember Lombardo's name as horror fans will likely be seeing a lot more of the pizza shop worker turned filmmaker in years to come.
