In the near future, when environmental disaster threatens humanity and oxygen is scarce, Satchel, a former baseball pitcher, must fight to survive after turning her back on a group of violent murderers who are now hot on her heels. “LUNGS“ by Kieran Moreira Connect with the Filmmakers: More About “LUNGS“: A no-hitter, a wasteland, a stranger. LUNGS opens with a flashback of SATCHEL at the pinnacle of her competitive life: pitching a no-hitter. But this delusion of the past is short-lived, as we cut to the present to find the world is a crumbling wasteland, the environment now toxic. Satchel is running from a group of savage MARAUDERS led by a sadistic masked man. As Satchel flees the Marauders, she is desperate for a source of oxygen and comes across a STRANGER who offers to help her. However, her paranoia and mistrust lead her to accidentally stab the stranger and take his “lungs,“ metal canisters filled with fresh oxygen. Satchel finds safety in an abandoned movie theater, where she meets ABHAY, another survivor. As Abhay treats Satchel's hallucinations, he tells her about his brother Nitesh and how he convinced Abhay that helping others was the key to survival. Satchel rejects that idea, skeptical of Abhay's motivations and insists there are no good people left, only to have Abhay express his sympathy. But the past catches up with them when the Marauders find them, and Abhay realizes his brother is dead. In his grief, Abhay desperately attacks the Marauders and Satchel must decide whether to abandon Abhay or fight alongside him to survive. “LUNGS“ Credits: Starring: Ilia Jones, Anoop Desai, Rajeev Rajendran, Sam Gerwick, Jason Bailey, and Luke Goodson Director: Kieran Moreira Producers: Shawn Lamons, N.C.
