How
to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse - Season One
Part
"Walking Dead," part "Hunger Games." This web series is the
next evolution of zombies
Los
Angeles, CA January 30, 2015 - Ten years after the zombie apocalypse was
supposedly averted; a new outbreak causes 18-year-old Norm Elman to learn the
frightening truth of both the zombie threat and the safe haven that has kept
him and others alive.
Dr.
Elman clearly knows something. Why else would he release his zombie
test-subjects? We know the answer, but we'll never tell...unless our campaign
is successful.
We're
an independent operation. One sunny afternoon in August, our writer, Justin,
sat down for lunch with our director, Stewart, and asked: "Are you going
to eat that?" And also: "Want to direct the pilot for a web series
idea I have?"
After
reading the script for the first episode and outline for the first season,
Stewart agreed. The pair brought Hannah onto the team to executive produce, and
they all got to work.
Five
months later, we're here with no studio backing, no distributor deal, and no
investor agreement.
We
only have our vision, our first episode, and you. If you're a fan of the
zombie genre, web series, or high quality storytelling in general, ask
yourself:
