Storm Aftermath, directed by Kevin Cappiello, has taken the internet by storm. Premiering on both Vimeo and YouTube, the short film explores isolation, survival, and relationships in a post-apocalyptic setting – drawing comparisons to the popular video game The Last of Us.

Surviving in a Devastated World

The film follows Alice Kremelberg as she battles to survive in a world devastated by an epic storm. Alone and struggling for food and water, she must avoid dangerous gangs of survivors while working with actor Brian Sounalath who also struggles to stay alive. Through their shared struggle, they collaborate on how best to navigate this harsh environment together.

Critics have praised the film for its cinematography, acting, and story. It has been likened to The Last of Us, a popular video game set in a post-apocalyptic environment developed by Naughty Dog and released in 2013. Set after an infectious disease decimated most of humanity, Joel plays as an escorting agent charged with finding survivors across America to save Ellie – her name meaning ‘rescuer’ in French.

Many viewers have drawn comparisons between Storm Aftermath and The Last of Us, noting the themes of survival, isolation, and connection in post-apocalyptic settings. Some have even suggested that the film could be an accompaniment to the game, exploring similar ideas through different media.

Inspiration from Real-Life Disasters

While similar to The Last of Us, Storm Aftermath stands alone as an intriguing study of human relationships in a world devastated by disaster. Kevin Cappiello, the director, stated that he was inspired by real-life disasters such as Sandy and Hurricane Sandy and the tsunami and earthquake in Japan. He wanted to understand how people respond during crises and find the strength to overcome immense difficulties.

Storm Aftermath is a timely reminder of the value of human connections and resilience in today’s world. It’s an engaging film that will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
