Blackout

What would you do if you knew the sun was about to expire and life as we know it would be changed forever? Would you riot? Would you break down? Or would you stop and enjoy the last sunrise we will ever have?

Blackout is a short film that takes place in the approximate 8 minutes it takes for light to reach Earth from the Sun as two strangers, Sampson and Darryl, discuss what they wish they could have done differently had they not taken sunlight for granted. What will tomorrow bring? We're not sure. But we do have our regrets about yesterday.
