Alex Ullom Explains ‘It Ends’ Meaning and Hints at Unexpected Sequel

Alex Ullom on the Core Message of ‘It Ends’

During the pandemic lockdown of 2020, director Alex Ullom spent long evenings in a VR Oculus poker room, not merely to pass time but to pitch his vision to potential backers. He says the film’s bleak finale mirrors society’s collective fatigue, yet he insists a hidden thread of hope runs through every frame. “The ending is a mirror, not a wall,” Ullom told Reuters, emphasizing that viewers must confront their own narratives.

Sequel Strategy: A Curveball

Contrary to industry chatter, Ullom disclosed that a sequel is already in early development, funded by a ↑ 12% surge in indie‑film crowdfunding sparked by the same VR networking. The follow‑up will flip genre conventions, blending thriller beats with speculative tech, according to a confidential source quoted by Bloomberg.

“We’re planning something that feels like a continuation and a rebellion at once,” he remarked.
