"The film was a hit at Sundance in 2011 and went on to make nine times its $17,000 budget. The film is written, directed and stars Evan Godell who also designed and built the camera used for shooting. This combination of old camera parts, Russian lenses, and a Digital camera give the film a visually compelling look that ties in nicely with the post Apocalyptic theme.
