ZOMBIE STRAIN is a horror comedy feature film about the people who work at a sound stage, the crew filming inside, zombies, a new strain of marijuana that is so strong it changes zombie behavior, and Christmas!

 

Our film is a frenetic story that combines scary elements and stoner comedy humor, with chaotic results. As the sound stage owner and his assistant are about to get back to work one day, their interns return from their lunch break in a panicked state. They had a run-in with a weirdo guy who looked really sick and was shuffling around trying to bite people. One of the interns has a bite mark on his arm, the sound stage owner and assistant realize what’s going on, and they spring into action. They have to arm themselves, notify the porn crew currently renting the space, and survive the zombie apocalypse. There are security cameras all over the sound stage, and the porn shoot was set to utilize GoPros, so many of the characters record their exploits for liability purposes as they try to keep the zombies out of the sound stage facility and live to go home for the holidays.

 

So yes, Zombie Strain is a found footage horror stoner comedy Christmas movie. It’s a scary fun time. A movie that you have never seen before, a truly original feature film, a zombie weed movie that has heart and makes you think. We can do that, right now, with your help.

 

 

Meet the Filmmakers!

Michael Seabolt - Director/Story Writer (right)

Even as a young boy, I felt destined to direct horror movies. Spending time at my grandmother's haunted farm house near Gettysburg (used as a hospital during the Civil War) or watching scary movies with my brother - I loved everything horror! I also found a lot of joy in telling stories and entertaining people. After college, I decided to move out to Los Angeles and learn as much as I could while working in the industry. I have worked on TV shows, movies, commercials, movies promos, music videos...pretty much anything and everything I could get hired on! Even though I was making a living, my heart still longed to write/direct horror. In August 2019, I finally took the leap and directed my first short film Sleep Tight. Directing Sleep Tight gave me the confidence to continue following my dream and has snowballed into different things! After multiple projects and festivals I am ready to take on my next big goal… making a feature film!  So hopefully you contribute to Zombie Strain and take this incredible journey with me!
