Exclusive: Natalia Reyes has signed on to star in Tomorrow Before After, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that is scheduled to start shooting this month in Colombia.
The film, from writer/director Alfonso Quijada (El Suspiro del Silencio), centers on a woman with no name (played by Reyes) who struggles to survive on her own in a post-apocalyptic world, searching for others, with only a stray dog by her side.
In her quest, she collides with a world that is collapsed and utterly destroyed, and it seems, for a long time, that she is the only survivor in the world—until she discovers one day that she is pregnant. Not understanding how this could be possible, she then begins to question her own existence.
Chad Barager and Ian Ihnatowycz are producing Tomorrow Before After through Barager’s Apollo Pictures and Ihnatowycz’s First Generation Capital.

Stars: Andrea Stefancikova, Natalia Ryumina, Nick Wittman, Valeria Dymova, Yaroslav Poverlo, Yuriy Dyak, Yulia Brahina, Larisa Bokovenko, Larisa Deryugina | Written and Directed by Chad Barager, Kevin Speckmaier
Sasha’s father has just died and as the last of her line she’s gotten everything. So she and her husband Peter hop a flight to Kyiv to check out part of the inheritance. A large townhouse that originally belonged to her grandfather. It’s a huge, beautiful, townhouse in the center of the city. Which means the fact it’s sat empty since he for so long should be a hint that there’s something wrong. The glares from people on the street as they arrive should be another. The housekeeper’s elusiveness when asked about these things should have them sleeping in a hotel.
Writer/directors Chad Barager and Kevin Speckmaier don’t waste any time confirming our suspicions that the building is indeed haunted.

There seems to be a flood of haunted house films out this year, and they're not all a result of the claustrophobia of lockdown, with most in the works before that. Chad Barager and Kevin Speckmaier's The Inheritance adds the popular complication of having its English-speaking lead characters come into possession of a property overseas where they have to deal with unfamiliar traditions, lack of knowledge about local power structures and difficulty communicating with those around them. This time it's Kyiv, where Sasha's (Natalia Ryumina) family came from two generations back. She has been left an extensive estate which includes a vast apartment building close to the heart of the city. Her husband Peter (Nick Wittman) assumes she's going to sell it, but she's still unsure - something about it calls to her.
It's the sort of place that would call to most people. If you have a passion for.
