First published in 2016 by Demi Jong, this Science Fiction Short Film is made with college level video production values, and based on "Nightfall (1941)" by Isaac Asimov.The movie begins with Eve stocking her shelves with new canned food, and trying to figure out what else she's going to need to protect herself against the end of the world. Her boyfriend is frustrated at her lack of attention, since this will be their last day together (he got a new job in another city and won't be back for six months).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })They argue and listen to news broadcasts about the past two months. Once the electricity is turned off, the boyfriend is convinced of the upcoming apocalypse, and Eve has started to surrender to panic and despair. Things only get worse from there.This eight-minute fan-made video can be viewed on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baNdQ1cukNg

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Eve mentions that her boyfriend printed out his boarding pass "last night", but the premise of the original story, "Nightfall (1941)", is that night only ever occurs during the eclipse that occurs for a few hours every two thousand, forty-nine years. (Listen at 1:22) If night occurs on a regular basis, then the eclipse shouldn't cause the panic/chaos that it does.

Agent Mulder: Eve has fully committed to believing in the astronomers that predict nightfall and the end of the world. Her boyfriend disagrees with her opinion that there's a bunch of unknowable things "out there".
