Interesting facts

The End is a 2007 Canadian dark comedy thriller horror film written and directed by Jeremy Thomas, who also stars in the film. Thomas himself called his first feature a "lighthearted existential horror film", while four festival reviewers described it in neo-noir terms. Having won over critics, and an award from the Eugene International Film Festival, Thomas was able to attract investors for his next project, Ally Was Screaming.

Production

Before shooting his first feature film, Jeremy Thomas had made short films as a student at the University of Calgary, where he joined the campus station NUTV to use the equipment, just as director Michael Dowse was leaving. The End was shot on video.

A low-budget film, The End was largely self-financed, though it did receive support from the National Film Board's Filmmaker Assistance Program. At the 2008 Fantasia International Film Festival, Thomas was apparently apologetic about the film, offering what seemed like "excuses or explanations – they had less money than the short film that precedes it, but it is long for a zero-budget indie," among other details.
