Eveless (2016)

Interesting facts

Eveless is a 2016 American short science-fiction horror film directed and co-written by Antonio Padovan. It follows two men in a world without women as they attempt to create one using only the limited resources they have gathered. Actors Vin Kridakorn and Greg Engbrecht also served as the short's executive producers.

Production

Vin Kridakorn's background was in music education before he decided to study acting at the New York Film Academy, where he first met Jackie C. Lin, who at the time was directing films, and for whom he auditioned. Through Lin, he met fellow student Antonio Padovan and appeared as a background character in one of Padovan's early films.

The story was fleshed out, and set in a future world without women. Kridakorn's job initially was to "bring everyone on board", which now included Lin; once he had recruited his co-executive producer Greg Engbrecht (who also plays opposite him in Eveless), the core team had been assembled.

Kridakorn and Engbrecht were originally cast with the opposite parts they play in the finished film; after a number of rehearsals, Padovan insisted that they switch roles.

Principal photography took place over two days, in New York City, like most of Padovan's other films, usually in the West Village where he has resided since leaving his native Italy in 2007. Editor Greg Zappile generously worked at a lower rate of pay than he normally would have, and had to devote time in addition to his full-time job in order to do it, so the editing took a lot of time.
