We’re down to the final 9 days of our Kickstarter campaign for The End Is Probably Almost Nearly Here — and we wanted to share a small taste of the film itself.

One of the questions we get most often is:

“What type of movie is it?”

The answer is:
dark comedy with a sprinkle of horror and sci-fi added to it including uncomfortable dinner conversations, supernatural paranoia and phenomenon… and people trying very hard to stay polite while everything slowly unravels.

So this week, we thought we’d let the script speak for itself.

Here’s a brief scene from the film, where dinner begins to spiral into theological debate, apocalypse anxiety, and possibly the weirdest charcuterie board in cinematic history.

Lili Scene #1

The End is Probably Almost Nearly Here

​

DUNCAN​
​This looks absolutely fantastic.

Thanks, guys!

Duncan leans forward to sample the food, but Fiona holds him back.

LILI​
​Fiona? Can I help you get something?

Fiona shakes her head. John and Lili exchange a glance. Lili pushes the charcuterie board out of the way.

LILI​
​Can I clear the air here?

DUNCAN

I wish you would.

LILI​
​We’re friends. We’ve known each other a long time, and Fiona, I’m looking forward to knowing you. I’m not going to pretend I see into the future, but I’m pretty certain this evening’s is not the beginning of the Apocalypse.

Lili takes a bite of apple.

JOHN

I hope not.

LILI​
​John! I’m trying, really, really trying here.

JOHN​
​Shouldn’t we be open-minded?

LILI

No, we shouldn’t!

DUNCAN​
​I always thought being open-minded was a good thing.

LILI​
​No! No, no, no. Not always. People talk about being open-minded when they want to believe something idiotic. Let’s be open-minded about whether or not the earth is flat or six thousand years old! When your three-year-old wakes you up at four in the morning, telling you dragons are under his bed, call the police and set dragon traps around the house, because if you don’t, you’re not being open-minded! Being open- minded is the hobgoblin of little minds!

Duncan nibbles on cheese.

DUNCAN​
​You don’t hear the word “hobgoblin” much these days.

LILI

Duncan!

DUNCAN​
​I have no idea when the Apocalypse might start… but this would be a kick-ass Last Supper.

FIONA​
​We could read The Book of Revelation?

JOHN

I’m up for it.

DUNCAN​
​I’m kind of curious. Intrigued, Lil?

LILI​
​It’s the Bible. Eye for an eye?

Check. Turn the other cheek?

Check. It will say whatever you want it to say.

FIONA​
​For those who have eyes, let them see, Missy.

Fiona opens her iPad as Duncan and John huddle around.

This strange little dinner party only gets weirder from there.

And thanks to all of you, we’re getting closer every day to bringing it to life.
