Gravitas has revealed an official trailer for a movie called Tomorrow Before After, a post-apocalyptic one-woman-alone survival thriller from filmmaker Alfonso Quijada. This is skipping theaters and will open on VOD directly in late August before the end of the summer. Colombian actress Natalia Reyes (seen in Running with the Devil and Terminator: Dark Fate) stars in the one-and-only role, along with a doggie named Lobo (which translates to "Wolf" in Spanish), played by a pooch named Blake. In a post-apocalyptic world, a young woman, with the help of an abandoned dog searches for other survivors while trying to cope with an unborn child growing inside of her. She wonders: how could she be pregnant? What does it all mean? Is this a post-apocalyptic version of the story of Mary? Or is it something else? This footage doesn't look bad, and the dog seems legit,...

Alfonso Quijada’s feature follows a young woman gifted with an extraordinary sense of smell. It looks great, but fails to satisfy

This drama from El Salvador has several commendable features, starting with a tender, sympathetic central performance from Laura Osma as Josefina, a sweet young woman who discovers she has an exceptional sense of smell. However, something doesn’t quite smell right about the way the film clumsily layers uplift and violence, served up with excessively stylised visuals and sound. It’s as if writer-director Alfonso Quijada, better known hitherto as an actor and producer, doesn’t know if he wants to make a telenovela-style melodrama or something more elevated and arty – in the tradition of Claudia Llosa’s The Milk of Sorrow or Lila Avilés’s films The Chambermaid and Tótem – with long takes and oblique storytelling strategies. In the end, it fails to satisfy either ambition.

Production is to commence in Ukraine in February 2023.

Canadian outfits Apollo Pictures and FirstGen Entertainment have lined up their next feature project, Hell Is Empty All The Demons Are Here, about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It will begin filming in Ukraine on February 24 – exactly one year after Russia invaded.

The Ukrainian-language feature is to be directed by Akhtem Seitablaev, a Ukrainian filmmaker of Crimean Tatar origin, whose previous credits include 2019 historical epic The Rising Hawk. Seitablaev is also serving in the Ukrainian armed forces.

It is based on actual events during the onset of the war, focusing on the interwoven experiences of locals.

The sci-fi is directed by Canadian-Salvadoran filmmaker Alfonso Quijada.

UK-based Phoenix Worldwide has picked up world sales on Canadian-Salvadoran Alfonso Quijada’s Tomorrow Before After.

Colombian actor Natalia Reyes plays a woman struggling to survive on her own in a post-apocalyptic world, until she realises she is not completely alone.

Cinecolor will release the title theatrically next year in Colombia.

It is produced by Chad Barager of Apollo Pictures (Canada), Ian Ihnatowycz of FirstGen Entertainment (Canada), Diego F. Ramírez of 64A Films (Colombia) alongside filmmaker Quijada of Sivela Pictures (Canada).

This is the follow-up to Quijada’s directorial debut feature,...

Co-producers on the recently finished dystopian thriller “Tomorrow Before After,” Apollo Pictures and Sivela Pictures are teaming on an entire slate of genre feature films with top Colombian producers 64-a Films, starting with a Spanish-language remake of Apollo founder Chad Barager’s most recent directorial feature “The Inheritance.”

The new joint venture was established with long-form, feature content in mind for both the English and Spanish-language markets, with production to be carried out exclusively in Colombia. In the Colombian update of Barager’s latest, a woman will return to Bogota to claim her grandfather’s estate, only to have supernatural forces intervene.

Next up in the pipeline will be the trio’s first English-language project, “On a Night Like Tonight.” In the film, an American living in Colombia learns that what goes around comes around when karma bites him back years after hiring a witch to solve his teenage problems.

Exclusive: Natalia Reyes has signed on to star in Tomorrow Before After, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that is scheduled to start shooting this month in Colombia.

The film, from writer/director Alfonso Quijada (El Suspiro del Silencio), centers on a woman with no name (played by Reyes) who struggles to survive on her own in a post-apocalyptic world, searching for others, with only a stray dog by her side.

In her quest, she collides with a world that is collapsed and utterly destroyed, and it seems, for a long time, that she is the only survivor in the world—until she discovers one day that she is pregnant. Not understanding how this could be possible, she then begins to question her own existence.

Chad Barager and Ian Ihnatowycz are producing Tomorrow Before After through Barager’s Apollo Pictures and Ihnatowycz’s First Generation Capital.
