The Mayan apocalypse is near and a filmmaker decides to explore Yucatan, searching for the location for his latest movie. With a local guide, he reaches the area where a meteorite smashed into the Earth millions of years ago, risking to destroy the entire planet and wiping out the dinosaurs. In this place, he runs into a bizarre group of new age followers, Mayan mystics, and a reporter, which he hires for the movie. Despite the prophecy, the world doesn’t end; unlike the film, which the director decides to keep on editing forever.

Declaration
film director
“What is cinema? As cinema’s boundaries are, like the universe, constantly expanding, the earnest exploration of its contemporary existence extends to why we continue making films, how we make them, up until the people involved in making them. When confronted by the Apocalypse, the very basis of cinema becomes as existential: its philosophy, the materiality, is questioned. […] Instead of asking if we are approaching the End of Cinema, ask rather, how would the last movie in the world look like? What does the last movie have in common with the first?”
