At the start of the month, we saw the incrediblenew trailerfor the newFalloutTV series being released on April 11, showcasing a ton of the 1950s post-apocalyptic wasteland the franchise is best known for. With its huge fan base, you don’t have to look too far to find those who love to either cosplay as one of the game’s characters or even want to direct their very own Fallout fan film.
This is exactly what Zack Finfrock did. Initially creating, and starring in a successful fan film and web series called Fallout Nuka Break over 10 years ago, Finfrock is back once more to direct yet another homage to the iconic Bethesda game, and this time it will be called Fallout: Breaking.

Taking to an announcement on theirGoFundMe page, Zack Finfrock talks about their brand-new, stand alone fan Fallout film. Getting into the nitty-gritty of what will be in store for those interested, Finfrock says that Fallout: Breaking fans will get to see his character Twig 10 years on from when he was last seen and will tell a completely new tale with “an aged and more weathered Twig is the goal.”
To make it even more impressive, Finfrock has now taken on some of the industry’s best talent to ensure incredible visuals. Film designer Katie Kahn, who worked on Disney’s The Mandalorian, was brought on to lend her eye to redesigning the Vault Suit from Fallout: Breaking. Also, Brian Curtin of Infectious Designer, who made some of the best Fallout props around and was featured in their own shortFallout film, has offered to send Finfrock a bunch of them for his film too - even before the crowdfunding was 100% secured.
To whet the appetite of Fallout fans excited to see what the new film contains, Finfrock released a handful of production still to showcase the incredible work that has gone into the film like costumes, props, and, of course, what any Fallout film needs; weapons. The Next Decade, a 3D printing company known for its Kamen Rider costumes, supplied a lot of the props and costumes used throughout Fallout: Breaking, which really takes it to a whole new level.
Of course, with making any film you need money, so Finflock started a GoFoundMe and only needed a budget of between $5000 to $7500 to cover the expense of creating it, to “ensure that we can keep the quality and tone of the original short film, and it keeps a roof over my head while I work on the majority of the production up until the release goal of early April of this year.” To their surprise, it has already reached $20k with more being donated as time goes on. That’s before the campaign had even finished. We wish Finfrock and the rest of the crew the best of luck in their upcoming Fallout fan film endeavors. We can’t wait to see it!
