Argh! We’re alive! (well, sort of) Welcome to the site of the film of the festival of the undead.
So, what’s going on? Well we (Film4, Warp Films and the Big Chill peeps) had an idea. The idea goes like this: Everybody loves music festivals, and we like making movies, and we all know that zombies are cool so… let’s put that altogether. Even better, let’s put that together with LOTS of people and have as much fun as we can in the process. What’s not to love?
The big question is: Are you in? We’re aiming big, we want as many zombies as possible to join in with this madness. Did you know that there’s a world record for the number of zombies captured on film? We’re aiming to smash it!
So if you’re going to the Big Chill this summer please come in costume. Filming starts on Thursday 6th August, so you may need to take an extra day off work. We’ll have some make-up there but we think you can do it better – show us your best wounds and rotting flesh! We’ll be looking for featured extras, fast zombies, slow zombies, hippy zombies, mashed zombies, all manner of undead.
We’re right at the start of this, and we’re still putting the script together. We’ll post up bits of it here when we can, and give you details of what we’ll be filming and when.
If you’re not coming to the Big Chill you can still join in. August is a long way off and there’s lots to do. We want to fill this site with your best zombie pictures and videos. We want your ideas of good places to get costumes, and the best gruesome make-up. We’ll be filming in other locations in the run-up to the festival and we’ll need zombies, so keep ‘em peeled. We’ll announce more stuff here and on our twitter feed soon…
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaains…
