Y2K, directed by Alexis Barzin, follows two 20-somethings as they try to avoid the Y2K disaster on a journey to mountainous Colorado.

Y2K, written & directed by Alexis Quevli Barzin, is a short film that follows two young women on their journey to be delivered from the apocalypse by aliens at the peak of a mountain in Colorado. Set during the Y2K crisis in December, 1999, Allison Lindt and her impulsive friend Helen McCauley embark on an adventure across the country to make it to the mountain in time to be saved. They steal cars, they commit identity fraud, and make a ton of insane friends on the way. 

Filming will occur from February 26 to March 30, 2012. 

The funds raised through Kickstarter.com will be used to pay for actors, locations, and equipment rental.
