As a global pandemic engulfs Los Angeles, rising TV star Ava Boone is forced to flee the mounting chaos and return to her rural hometown. As she struggles to acclimate to a way of life she left behind long ago, her homecoming attracts a dangerous figure from her past- threatening both her and the family that serves as her only sanctuary.
Brimming with tension and paranoia, and featuring a tough-as-nails performance from its lead actress, the pre-apocalyptic road movie Before the Fire is a shockingly timely tale of the strength of the human spirit against seemingly insurmountable odds.
“[BEFORE THE FIRE] IS ABOUT TRAUMA, FAMILY DYNAMICS, FEAR, BETRAYAL AND POWER. IT WILL PULL YOU IN FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENTS AND NOT LET UP UNTIL THE CREDITS.”
– ALLIANCE OF FEMALE FILM JOURNALISTS
“BEFORE THE FIRE COULDN’T BE MORE TIMELY, GIVING AUDIENCES A CHANCE TO PONDER WHO THEY WANT TO BE VERSUS WHO THEY WILL BE IF THINGS GET WORSE.”
– FANBOY PLANET
