Jim Towns spoke with us about his new film, End Times, and the hometown inspiration behind it.
End Times follows a pair of mismatched travelers, Claire and Freddie (Jamie Bernadette and Craig Stark), as they try to escape a deadly pandemic that has turned Los Angeles into a zombie-infested wasteland. Claire is a privileged young suburbanite ill-equipped to survive in this hostile new landscape, until she meets Freddie, a retired soldier who lost his daughter to the virus. As they travel together to reach the perimeter, Freddie teaches Claire the skills that will enable Claire to survive, and the uneasy partnership between the two grows into something more akin to a father/daughter relationship. Before they can reach safety, the two will have to escape brutal gangs, cannibals, cults, and the undead.
This post-apocalyptic horror, written and directed by Jim Towns (House of Bad, The Possession of Anne), stars Jamie Bernadette (I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu, NCIS: New Orleans) and Craig Stark (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Hateful Eight). The supporting cast includes Dominique Swain (Lolita), Jessica Morris (One Life to Live); Kaiwi Lyman (Den of Thieves, American Horror Story), Dan Buran (True Blood, General Hospital), Stefanie Estes (Soft & Quiet), Maria Olsen (Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief; I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6), and Victoria De Mare (The Beast Inside). The film is produced by Jamie Bernadette, Jim Towns, and Craig Stark.
