Plot
"Our Last Days As Children" is a story about all that makes us human. It examines how everyday people are affected by an ideology of intolerance and how one may deal with the consequences of a worst-case scenario against their own will. It is a heartfelt, but disturbing, story showing the lives of individuals who are singled out and ill-treated by the people that represent them. Although laws are put in place to ensure toleration, when the rules change identities are destroyed. This shocking truth is concealed behind the advancement of science and through the act of medical and technological progression.
Cast

An early blog entry on the film's old website indicates that the film will be shot using the
Panasonic HPX500 , thus adding it to the growing canon of Indie films being shot in (HD) High Definition, rather than 35mm film, though the HPX500 has been said to mimic the visual look of a 16mm camera. It is uncertain if this is still the camera of choice at this time.Locations
