Director's Notes
Working with guns, death makeup and a gallon of stage blood, this was the most fun I'd had on a movie shoot, and it certainly whet my appetite for more horror. I'm actually quite proud of the camerawork and the disturbing tone of the final product. Since finishing this project, I've expanded the concept into the feature screenplay Bad Batch, which weaves the story of these three characters along with a whole town as they battle the zombies.
