Deathday (
2023 - 2024 )
Film (short) by JP Luce (Drama) Writer/Director/Producer It’s the year 2072, and Earth can no longer sustain its population. Desperate, countries unite and issue a horrific decree: The Re-creation. To try and preserve any future humanity Earth may have left, nations agree to exterminate anyone over the age of 40. For those under 40, the countdown begins, their own execution awaiting them on their 40th birthday. Our protagonist, Elijah Thomas Washington, wakes up the day after his birthday, confused. He should be dead. What happened? When Resisters show up at his door, they reveal a shocking truth: as a child, he was chosen to join them, an underground faction fighting to overthrow the Re-creation and return to the old ways. Once rescued and brought into the fold, he’ll join forces with others determined to challenge the brutal system, and fight for a future where no one’s life is cut short by decree.
