The Last Man is a dark post-apocalyptic thriller written and directed by Gavin Rothery. The story revolves around a Deep Reserve soldier who wakes up from hibernation to find that the world he knew has been ruined by war. It’s a haunting and tense story that is told through beautifully gritty visuals.

Rothery was part of the production team that worked on Duncan Jones’ Moon, so you’ll see the influence from his work in that in some of the imagery in this short. The production value is solid, and the attention to detail really helps makes the film pop.

"A soldier without a war is just a man." We're always on the hunt for unique short films that might have something new to offer, and this may be one to take a closer look at. One of the many shorts premiereing at the Film4 FrightFest in London is The Last Man, from up-and-coming filmmaker Gavin Rothery who is making his directing debut after working as visual effects supervisor / concept artist / graphic designer on Duncan Jones' stellar sci-fi Moon.
