Fallout2

Fallout

Set in a future where a cataclysmic war is waged daily on American soil, “Fallout” focuses on the investigation into a failed mission by a Department of Homeland Security counterterrorism team to stop a group of terrorists with a suitcase nuke in the ruins of Phoenix, Arizona. A military investigator examines for evidence of betrayal – via questioning and a brutal holographic memory extraction process – though he may have his own agenda. An epic science fiction action thriller inspired by “24,” “Stargate SG-1,” “The Wire,” and “Minority Report,” “Fallout” was shot entirely on greenscreen and was produced by the students and faculty of the University of Advancing Technology’s Digital Video Program. 31 students worked on this project for more than a year under the supervision of writer/director/professor Paul DeNigris.
