The Carrington Event
News of a massive solar flare, one more immense than the famous "Carrington Event" of 1859, goes viral. Soon after, the power is out, phone's dead, water taps dry, and radio is just static. Days pass with no news, just people getting more crazy. Weeks pass and while the Carrington's sort out their family differences, a world-wide struggle for survival has already begun.
*BEST DRAMA* at the Wilmington Film Awards. The cinematic trailer nears 170,000 views on YouTube.
