Summary
"Zombie Woman" is a
short film about a woman who is turned into a zombie, is temporarily
cured, and regresses back. By making a story about a character able
to reflect on her zombie past, we are able to pierce the psychology
of a
zombie. Why do they do the things they do? Do they have a choice?
Typically a movie of this type
is an external battle of zombies versus humans. Here the battle is
internal; with our hero protagonist and antagonist, human and zombie.
It is a different way to look at a zombie film and hopefully will
make for a unique experience.
"Zombie Woman" is
one of twenty short scripts selected to be a part of the 2014
Steeltown Film Factory Community Showcase, a contest designed to find
and assist talented Pittsburgh writers. You can read the screenplay
here: http://www.steeltown.org/film-factory/zombie-woman.
The aim is to shoot this
summer. It will be shot primarily in Carnegie, PA; in line with
Steeltown’s initiative of encouraging filmmaking in Southwestern
Pennsylvania. The project is also being supported by Carnegie
Screenwriters, another group assisting Pittsburgh based writers.
What We Need & What You
Get
In order to make the film, we need your help. Making a film takes a lot of
resources, especially a zombie film. The difficulty lies in creating
believable zombies, and a world in which they run rampant. That
requires unique makeup, locations, props and lighting.
In order to say thank you for
all the generous donations, we have lots of exciting rewards to
offer. This includes a Zombie Photo Shoot, where you can be made up
as a zombie and have your picture taken. Also available is a Zombie
Spaghetti Dinner, served by a zombie wait staff. After dinner, enjoy a private screening of “Zombie Woman.”
