About
In the summer of 2002, a group of friends in rural Ohio set out to create their own Super-8mm zombie epic, inspired by a generation of regional filmmakers before them. Lead by William Schotten, a salesman and horror fan with no prior filmmaking experience, and J.J. Zetts, an I.T. consultant, the group is sure that success is at hand. Or is it...? This is their story... see first-hand how a loyal group of first-time filmmakers try to turn $7,500 cash into 90 minutes of raw, unbridled horror movie!
