Interesting facts

The Aftermath is a 1982 science fiction horror independent film directed by Steve Barkett.

Production

Following his appearance in a handful of films as an actor, Steve Barkett came up with the initial concept of The Aftermath as Barkett wanted a film that while cheap would look nice and touch on themes of disillusionment with the world. Barket initially tried to get the movie made through a partnership with actor Stanley Livingston, but after failure to get financial backing for the film the two dissolved their partnership.

Steve Barkett screened a rough cut of The Aftermath for Roger Corman as a potential pick-up for New World Pictures. Corman's reaction was mixed and at the suggestion of Corman, Barkett redid several effects shots and cut 15 minutes of footage to improve the pacing.
