Actors Andrew Ortenberg and June Schreiner are determined to solidify their blossoming romance as they strive to find meaning and adventure during the world ‘s final week in the new end-of-the-world romantic thriller, ‘When I’m Ready.’ The film follows the performers’ characters, Michael and Rose, as they embarks on a road trip across the country during the last days before an extinction event.

Quiver Distribution will distribute the drama in theaters on February 7, 2025. The theatrical release will be followed by the movie’s premiere on digital and On Demand platforms on February 14, 2025.

In honor of the project’s distribution, Film Factual is premiering an exclusive clip from the feature. The clip follows Rose and Michael as they decide to travel to see her grandmother one last time before the world-ending event takes place.

Besides starring in the thriller, Ortenberg also wrote the script and served as a producer. The film also stars June Schreiner (‘Chicago Med’), Thalia Besson (‘Emily In Paris’), Lauren Cohan (‘The Walking Dead’) and Dermot Mulroney (‘Anyone But You’). Andrew Johnson directed the drama.

In ‘When I’m Ready,’ Rose and Michael embark on a road trip across the country during the last days before asteroids threaten to wipe out all life on earth. While journeying to see her grandmother one last time before they perish, they fight to find meaning and adventure during their final days.

Along the way, Rose and Michael encounter a rotating cast of lost souls from different backgrounds, each looking for something very different out of the end. One such person is Julia (Cohan), a former beauty queen holding out hope for last minute love while riding out the end with her daughter Apryl (Luciana VanDette). Another stranger is Keith (Mulroney), a solitary drifter who’s spending his final days scavenging and in search of human connection.

Besson, the daughter of French filmmaker Luc Besson, plays Michelle, the leader of a pack of young hedonistic party-goers on their way to an end of the world rave. Bryan Curtis, meanwhile, voices a radio DJ who’s updating citizens on the progress of the asteroids as the world’s final hours tick down.
