The Last Boy is a Sci-Fi Drama inspired by the poetry of the 13th century Sufi mystic Rumi. A story of love, loss and wishes. It is set against a post human background. The loss of most of humanity is juxtaposed against a subsequently flourishing planet where resources are abundant and animals can live in freedom and peace. Only the remaining humans are the exception as they are pursued by the winds themselves.

As a director I saw it as an opportunity to bring to the screen a post-apocalyptic vision not filled with human horror and mechanical destruction but with simple loss on a huge scale.

I present a world turned on its head. Where we seek out others because that is all we have left. Where we are unafraid to consider and accept the esoteric because that is the new norm.

Where we must reconnect with all the things that make us what we truly are because the artifices that have defined and constrained us no longer exist. And a world in which wishes are fulfilled. If you can survive the journey.

I tell the story through the eyes of a soldier who can only think to traverse a nation back to a woman he left on their wedding night. A scientist who searches for a way to reverse what has happened with no thought as to whether it is the right thing to do. A false priest who can only think to try and hold onto the past. A young girl who realises that in this new world maybe what you wish for can come true.

And finally a simple story of a boy who loses his mother and instead of mourning her loss knows he has a chance of seeing her again if he can make it to a place that grants wishes.
