With the looming dread of an asteroid extinction event on the horizon, a young couple takes the road trip of a lifetime (or in this case, the end of their lifetimes) in Andrew Johnson's new movie When I'm Ready. With the apocalyptic romantic thriller now playing on VOD and Digital platforms (and sounding like it could make a great double feature with Seeking a Friend for the End of the World), we have an exclusive clip from When I'm Ready that combines a bottle of wine, a shotgun getaway, and reports of impending doom on the airwaves.

"Written and produced by Ortenberg and directed by Andrew Johnson, WHEN I’M READY revolves around a young couple, Rose (Schreiner) and Michael (Ortenberg), on a road trip across the country during the last days before an extinction event, as asteroids threaten to wipe out all life on earth. 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.

Cast: Andrew Ortenberg, June Schreiner, Lauren Cohan, Dermot Mulroney
