It's Been A While

Hey No Tomorrow Fans,

If you're wondering what's going on with the project and why we've been pretty silent here on the blog, the answer is simple.  We've been focused primarily on posting updates on the Facebook Page.

For any of you who prefer to get your updates via the blog, I'll give you a summary of our progress.

Frank has been busy working on getting the script where it needs to be.  He's gone through a handful of drafts and it's safe to say the finish line (Note: not the Finnish line) is in sight.  There may still be some significant changes, but much of the remaining work lies in polishing dialog, tying up any loose ends, and so on.

We've also been busy working on the Pitch Package for No Tomorrow.  It consists of the relevant details for the project.  Synopsis, logline, crew bios, actor attachments (we're working on this), budget estimates, production schedule, and a lot more.

The next milestone is the point at which we can take the "locked" draft of the script (locked doesn't mean there won't be changes, it simply means there won't be significant changes and the overall structure will remain in place) and the completed pitch packet to interested investors (if you know any, we'd be thrilled if you sent them our way).  The good news is, there is some interest.  The sobering news is, nothing is certain until it's in the bank.

Simultaneously, we'll also be reaching out to actors and actresses on our "Dream List" by contacting the corresponding Agents and Managers.  If they like the project, we'll send the script over and go from there.  Needless to say, the better known the actor or actress, the more attractive the project becomes to potential investors, distributors, etc.

That's it for now.  Thanks for your patience so far and please help us by continuing to spread the word!

Take Care,
Chris Pluchar

The Journey Continues...with guns.

Hello everyone! FIrst off I just wanted to say thanks to all our followers. We have had over 2000 views of our main teaser alone on YouTube. While this is great, we are always trying to get more so we need your help. Please share all of our sites (Facebook, Blog, Official Site) with any of your friends on-line. We greatly appreciate it. Now with the shameless plug out of the way...

Here we are: on the the other side. We have launched the films and now the real work begins. The response has been very positive. Here are a couple of quotes we recieved about the films: 

" It was intense! I loved it! I wish I could have seen more! Good sound effects and setting! I would go and see "No Tomorrow"!!!"

"You left me wanting to see more......will there be a tomorrow?"

"I'm very impressed. I hope to see the full movie soon :)"

"The most realistic zombies and zombie make-up I've ever seen.  HOORAY!"

"That is intense. It leaves you wanting to see MORE...."

"The teaser looked great! The only problem I had with it was that I wanted to watch more!!!"

"Amazing. Someone who actually looks like they could survive, in a zombie survival film! This could be the cure for the "Walking Dead" reality show reject crap we keep getting these days. Maybe someone will figure out how to herd/bait mindless zombies into a combine or shredder/incinerator as well. Imagine, a Zombie movie where people aren't idiots..." 

"I've watched this clip about 5 times now and after each time I do, there are two things I desperately want to do. 

1. Kill some muthaf***ing zombies!! 

2. Watch the full feature of this movie."

I love that last one! We are doing everything we can to get this feature off the ground so stay tuned. Now if we are moving forward in a zombie infested world, a couple of guns can't hurt. I know what you're thinking: guns? Really? Bullets are obsolete. They are an endangered species. Nobody is making anymore of them, right? But there are a TON of bullets in the world and just like oil, people on this planet like to use something until it's totally exhausted. 

In the film the TRAVELER uses a military version of a popular rifle known as an M4, a modern version of the M-16 which became poplular in the Vietnam War. It's based on the original AR-15 designed by Eugene Stoner and made by Armalite. It's an effective rifle and in the zombie apocolypse it can be your best friend. Now understand that the TRAVELER is not a soldier. In the feature film we find out that he meets a wounded Marine and cares for him until he dies due to his injuries. Not only does he take his weapons and gear, but in a way he also takes on his identity. He is mistaken for a soldier several times by survivors and he uses this facade to project strength. The rifle is his last resort, prefering an assortment of melee weapons he has gathered during his journey. 


Just thought I'd shed a little light on that bad boy. Big shout out to MAGPUL, maker of some of the best M4 accessories ever made. Check back soon for more zombie killing weapon breakdowns. 


And as always...watch your back.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It's the moment you've been waiting for.  The main teaser for NO TOMORROW is now live!  Check it out below and be sure to share it with your friends and family to help us spread the word and get the feature film made next year.  (If you have an extra minute, jump on our YouTube Channel and let us know what you think too.)  Enjoy!

NO TOMORROW is the story of a man (the TRAVELER) who loses his family in the early days of a global outbreak. Several months later that man has become a battle hardened warrior surviving on his own in a world overrun by the undead. Set in the Midwest, the film focuses on this man's struggle as he journeys to safer lands and rediscovers his humanity along the way.

Also, now that the main teaser has launched, we're busy developing the feature length script and plan on posting updates on our progress as well as any relevant interviews, stories, etc...stay tuned.

Take Care,

Bugging Out.

Hey NT fans: I wanted to give you a rundown of the TRAVELERS "bug-out" gear. In the zombie survival world, most people have very specific bug-out kits. They are designed to be everything you need an one compact, well stocked and most of all mobile kits. In the film NO TOMORROW, the TRAVELER has gathered various items over several months. A large portion of it is mil-spec (military specifications/standards) gear but he is not a soldier. In the feature version of the film, he comes across a soldier and eventually "inherits" the gear. Other items have been scavenged along the way. Here is an overview of the gear you've seen in the mini-teasers so far:

1.) Colt SOPMOD M4 Carbine Rifle with Knights Armament RIS, Red Dot Scope, Silencer and Magpul Accessories

2.) Steel Axe with Wooden Handle

3.) Hecklor & Koch USP .45 Pistol with Blackhawk Cross Draw Serpa Holster

4.) Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife

5.) Beretta 92FS Pistol with Blackhawk Sepra Leg Holster

6.) Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves

7.) Camelback Hydration System

8.) Gerber Gator Machete

9.) Bed Roll

10.) Mulitcam Kneepads

11.) Multicam Tactical Vest

12.) Map Armband

13.) Rucksack Containing:

-First Aid Kit

-Flashlight/Glowsticks

-MRE (Ready-to-eat) Meals/Water Purification Tablet

-Compass/Rope/Maps

-Survival Radio with hand cranks/solar charging

-Various other essentials

In working on the story for this film I was quite impressed by the level of work that people put into  constructing the perfect bug-out kit. In fact, the US Government recommends that everyone should have some kind of survival kit on stand by in case of a disaster, man made or natural.

Do you have yours?

Negative Ghost Rider...the pattern is full.

So FLYOVER is up. Awesome. I really love this clip because it gives us the first sense that this is all bigger than we know. As the audience we see this world through the TRAVELERS eyes. Since he avoids contact with people (alive or dead) at all costs, we only get a few glimpses of whats happened to the rest of the world in this zombie apocolypse. A big congrats and thanks to Gary Schwerzler from Magi Filmworks. He's our VFX's guy. Great work, especially under such a tight deadline. Check out some screen shots below:

So tomorrow is the big day. It's the launch of the main teaser for NO TOMORROW. We hope you'll check it out and share with your friends!

Thanks for watching. Hope you're diggin' it.
