Get to know the filmmaker:

It really came from a desire to keep creating with people that I love to work with. My producing partners, Jimmy Luc and Alex Caimano, and I had made two short films prior to Nuclear (Death March and Four Pins) which both took place during war time and were period pieces and we wanted to complete what we were calling our loose trilogy. So Jimmy and I went away to work on the script for a number of months and we just felt that a family drama taking place against the backdrop of a nuclear war was fitting. The hysteria and absurdity of that time period felt contemporary and relatable.

Tucked away in Western Massachusetts lies a beautiful, quiet little town called Shelburne Falls. Here a young man named Tommy Graves spends his days tending to the declining lanes of the local bowling alley. In this place time feels stuck, as does Tommy.

Trapped in a repeating cycle of his own, as his grasp on memory slowly slips away, is Walter, an older gentleman, who comes in to bowl with his grandson every week. But his grandson doesn't show up, so now Tommy and Walter have to face each other as well as their own shortcomings.

Conversation with filmmaker Matthew Beltz on the making of the film.
