Zombie Girl: The Movie
Dir(s): Aaron Marshall, Justin Johnson, Erik Mauck
Program: World Showcase
Run Time: 91 | USA | Language: English
Slamdance award-winner Zombie Girl: The Movie chronicles the two-year journey of irrepressible Austin tween Emily Hagins to complete her directorial debut, the horror film Pathogen. Emily and her mom have been horror and sci-fi junkies for years, so naturally when Emily writes a script for a zombie movie, Mom is right behind her to help build sets, production manage, and fund Emily's vision. The support and encouragement Emily receives from her family and her community is astounding. However, not all is smooth sailing. Emily and Mom clash over the direction of the film. And that's just one obstacle Emily must face. Real life stuff like homework and financial woes also get in the way. But Emily's enviable creative passion and drive keep the production going. She negotiates actors, extras, and even her Mom's feelings like a pro. Is Emily the next Wes Craven or Peter Jackson? Only time will tell. Shannon Abel.
Co-presented with Rue Morgue and Toronto After Dark Film Festival.
