Blogging
and Brains and Beans: How three idiots survived the Zombie Apocalypse.
YORK,
UK, 4th APRIL 2013, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (MILESTONE FILMS/COFFEE
FILMS)
5
years ago, three survivors of a zombie apocalypse in York began video blogging
to relieve the tedium of bean-based survivalism and briskly walking away from
slowly shuffling threats, until they locked themselves out of their flat
anyway.
This
is the world of Zomblogalypse, a cult British web series from MilesTone
Productions now set for a big screen adaptation and currently crowd funding
pre-production on the IndieGoGo platform.
Creatively
led by the original trio of Hannah Bungard, Tony Hipwell and Miles
Watts (fresh from micro-budget features Crimefighters and Whoops! that have
been highlighted by reviewers at Empire, Time Out and Sight &
Sound), the team have partnered with producer Steve Piper at award-winning
British indie mainstay Coffee Films to greatly expand on the scale and universe
of the web series, promising the results will be “blasé about the end of the
world on a whole new level”.
After
a year of script development to break down the episodic format and realise a
true feature length story arc, the project has already picked up distribution
interest and turned to crowd funding to complete packaging and pre-production
of the screenplay.
With
hundreds of thousands of online views and fans including effects guru Tom
Savini, Walking Dead comics artists Charlie Adlard, SFX
Magazine and zombie film directors Marc Price (Colin) and Dominic Brunt (Before
Dawn)
it promises to be well worth looking out for.
The Zomblogalypse crowd funding campaign runs through April looking to
raise £10,000 to meet pre-production costs, and has already pulled 15% of that
within a few days of launch. Check it out yourself to reserve a DVD or fulfill
