The Story

Two brothers. The last generation. One shot at humanity's future.

What We Have Left is a full-length, live-action post-apocalyptic drama set in a future where all mammals (even humans) can no longer reproduce. Two brothers from the last generation are abandoned by the survival group that once protected them. Now? They have to fight to live on their own terms.

At its center is a neurodivergent hero: a culturally relevant story about the people we leave behind, and what it costs to keep hope alive when the world has run out of tomorrows.

It's an ambitious independent movie made by a crew that has shot for Ted Lasso, Hallmark, and Fortune 500 brands, and now we're making something with the help of our community. This is your chance to be a part of the resurgence of independent movies.
