Vax
This tongue-in-cheek, deconstructionist mockumentary from writer/director Chris Caccioppoli (East of Hollywood, The Loving Dead, The Cocks of the Walk), takes a comedic look at the varying ideologies around those who opted-out of the vaccine. Playing off the prevalent conspiracy theory, the comedy is set in a world where a microchip planted in the vaccine causes the body to shut down in a "blue scream of death," killing everyone on the planet except the ant-vaxxers. The film follows seven neighboring survivors as they selfishly navigate a post-apocalyptic world. The subjects include a religious zealot (Matt Mindell), a dooms-day prepper (James Morgan), an environmentalist (Natalia Borges), an actor who feared the vaccine's cosmetic side effects (Manoli Ioannidis), a workaholic who was too busy to get vaccinated (Llewellyn Connolly), and a gamer who was too lazy to make an appointment (Jasmine Cornielle).
