Zombie Comedy Raising Funds Not The Dead - YET

Zombie Comedy Raising Funds Not The Dead - YET
Series set to poke Horror-ific fun at Zombies who are actors playing Zombies

HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 18, 2013) – New information continues to surface about Acting Dead, an independent television series from award-winning New Media producers Brian Beacock and Susan Bernhardt.  The latest update includes this synopsis:  What if your acting career had taken a turn for the worse and your only option to get a role, to be cast in any number of the ever-growing zombie-based TV shows and movies was to...actually become one? Acting Dead takes you into the afterlife of Tate and Alex, both struggling to get by living in their new skin, or what's left of it. But life doesn't slow down just because your heart stopped. Tate and Alex come to realize that even undead actors face the same problems as the living: staying in shape, part time jobs, getting a better agent, Hollywood mixers, blind dates, and self esteem issues.  Add to those problems the occasional urge for brains and biting, zombie and ghost method acting teachers, and keeping their "decomposure", Tate and Alex discover that it's not so easy Acting Dead.

The Zombie series, set to begin filming next month, is raising additional production dollars through the crowd funding platform Indiegogo and needs your help. Producer Susan Bernhardt shared “If you're a fan of anything related to Zombies and Ghosts, with a hint of Hollywood thrown in the mix, you're in for a real treat. The project is green-lit and our first shoot day is scheduled for October 12th, so it's not a question of whether it's happening or not – we just need some extra help so we can pay everyone a little something.” She continued “I have to say – never thought I would be producing a comedy like this, but the script is ridiculously smart, and the characters are just to die for, no pun intended, of course. This show is the perfect blend of comedy and zombies which I think is now called a Zomedy!”

Besides leads Brian Beacock (McCracken Live!, NBC's The Rerun show) and Jillian Clare (Days of Our Lives, Miss Behave, upcoming feature thriller Project Blue Book), the show has attracted an impressive list of stars that continues to grow with recognizable faces from the big and small screen attached. The series is slated to begin production next month and will be shooting an eight episode first season with plans to initially air online. Funny, quirky and weird, Acting Dead has brains and an appetite for sarcasm and satire. Imagine Arrested Development meets Shawn of the Dead with an occasional shout out to Romero.  It's fast paced and smart, and so ridiculous you're sure to have the time of your afterlife.
