On the 9th of April 2021, La Soufrière, St. Vincent and the Grenadines' volcano, began to erupt explosively. The eruptions were still ongoing for a while, and by the second it was sending volcanic ash to my homeland, Barbados. Houses, cars, roads and much more were covered by the ash. Citizens of St. Vincent were evacuated but some had either been left behind or been put in life-threatening situations. Their water supply was being cut off, electrical power, and they were running out of food supplies and some had nowhere to sleep at night. This film wasn't made to make St. Vincent or Barbados look bad in any way, shape or form. I just really like the apocalyptic feel it gave to the surroundings and I decided to use it to its potential. I named it "Future" because it reminds me of what I think the future will look like due to mankind's ignorance.
