Population 2

Post-Apocalyptic Awesomeness!

The filmmakers, crew and cast that generally give so much of their time, resources and passion to these projects represent the epitome of the form of artistic expression referred to as cinema.

Every so often an independent movie comes around that exerts a profound effect on film and reaches out to touch some aspect of our humanity that resides deep within us.
