This is the first episode of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, a live-action send-up of the much-loved 1994 console game of the same name. The plot differs from the game, but the main characters Zeek and Julie are still there.
The video - part 1 in a trilogy of 3-minute shorts - follows the unlikely Zeek and Julie as they encounter and easily dispatch a few zombies amidst the chaos of a funeral...more zombie slaying is coming, but we'll have to wait for the rest of the series to know how it ends.[...]
Here's how the competition works: There are three rounds of voting. Round 1, which began about a week ago, goes until September 1st. Then, 50 top voted shorts will be chosen to go on to round 2. Round 2 is a lot like Round 1 except that, by the end, only 10 top voted shorts will make it through. In the end there will be prizes and a whole lot of hullaballoo for the first three finalists.
I love independent movies, even the wee tiny ones that end up clogging up the intertubes like so many balls of hair and scalp grease down a shower drain, so I feel a warming of the something-or-other when I tell you to check out the thingies on this whatsit-list.
