Zombie Command

With no sign of a full synopsis for new zombie film, Duty of Living, we took it upon ourselves to track down the Director, Brandon Hunt, and beat the story out of him*.

“The Duty of Living” is a short film about a young soldier’s return to his family’s home after the zombie apocalypse. Juan Riedinger (“Jennifer’s Body”, “The Day The Earth Stood Still”) plays Darren Stark, who’s joined up with one of the emergency squads dispatched to clear out areas with roaming zombies. As he makes his way deteriorated home, he must contend with the memories of the last words he had with his family (played by local actors Wendy Wisely, Jim Accomando, & George Retelas). The film will be shot on a Red One camera helmed by Brandon Fraley and is produced by John Meredith and George Retelas. Look for the short film to hit the festival circuit in 2010.

After significant water-boarding* he also revealed that they were aiming for a late October/Halloween release date and plan on making the rounds at the festivals in 2010.

The Red One camera is the most ridiculously awesome HD camera money can buy at the moment and was used in another zombie flick, Pontypool.

All sounds good so far, hopefully there will be enough emotional drama AND zombie hunting to make this worth watching. Though if we had to choose just make sure there’s plenty of zombie heads exploding.
