Narrative Feature (Australia, 2010, 90 min.)
Director(s): David Bishop
Perth, Western Australia is the most isolated capital city in the world. Dave 'Bish' Bishop is a multi-award nominated yet massively unsuccessful screenwriter and indie filmmaker who moves back to Perth (his hometown). While in Perth he enrolls in film school and is assigned to keep a video diary. Everything starts out normal enough until it is discovered that Perth is actually the site of a secret joint U.S. - Australian defense project that goes massively wrong and produces a neutron wave that eliminates all but 0.001% of the population (within the blast radius) and turns everyone outside the blast radius into zombies. What I am Legend would have been if the last man on Earth was fatter, whiter, stupider, and lived in Perth.
