After emerging as the sole survivor in a deadly revenge game set up by her father to punish his children, Miriam receives an offer from a supernatural entity to go back in time and try again. Now, Miriam must survive both her father’s bloodlust and the Gamemaster’s ever-changing rules to save her siblings as she relives the worst night of her life.
Director Jason Axinn is a graduate of USC’s Cinema-Television School. He has directed/edited over 150 short films for clients including The Black Eyed Peas, Funny or Die and The Upright Citizens Brigade. He’s worked with James Gunn, Will.i.am, OKGO, Matt Besser and Phil LaMarr, and directed commercials for Microsoft, Sega and Verizon, plus several TV pilots. TO YOUR LAST DEATH is his first feature.
Director’s Statement: "It's easy to be seduced by the fantasy of second chances. To be able to go back in time and change the outcome of a situation, to be in complete control - it's like playing God. Even to an incredibly selfless character like Miriam, that's very appealing. She's a bit blind to the potential emotional cost, like most of us would be. Her journey will be one of self discovery, whether she survives it or not."
