Persephone.

[Himmel]

Filmmakers Chris Ferrantino and Josh Posner have reached their Kickstarter goal for “Persephone (pictures at the end of the world),” a female-driven indie movie that follows a woman’s last day before the titular asteroid wipes out the West Coast.

Set in an abandoned Los Angeles that has had seven months to prepare for impact, the film stars Aighleann McKiernan (“Middle Men,” “Columbus Circle”) as Jennifer, a woman who has decided to stay behind, having already suffered a tragic loss in her life.

As the asteroid nears Earth, Jennifer documents the stories of others who have also chosen to remain in Los Angeles while the film presents flashbacks that reveal Jennifer’s own reasons for staying in the city.

David Conolly (“The Understudy,” “Hindsight News”) and Hannah Davis (“Mothers and Daughters,” “Secrets & Lies”) will co-star in the film.

Shooting is expected in July.
