The Final 24 Hours

Update #7 · Feb 8, 2012 · comment

We've come a long way in the past 30 days. Only one month ago, we were just a group of filmmakers who had a crazy idea.

Now we are a 240+ strong collective transforming that idea into a reality. 

Thank you to everyone who has backed us. Thank you to everyone who has 'liked' us, shared us, retweeted us and generally shown us love. Without you, this never would have happened. We're working everyday to produce a series you can be proud of.

THE FINAL APPEAL

We still have 24 hours to raise money and we guarantee every dollar will go towards making the series more amazing and exciting than ever. Explosions, Cameos, New Locations - the sky's the limit.

ZOMBIE SALE!

The Zombie Horde is now 23 people strong. We need around 50 people to film the shots we have in mind, so we're taking drastic action.

So (drum roll…) we are UPGRADING all new and existing $50 backers to Zombie eligible status. That's right: it's your chance to be famous and appear in the film!

New and existing $100 Backers will now get the chance to be 'featured' Zombies on an additional day of shooting, as well as members of the hoard. Thats twice the amount of Zombie at the same low price.

Upgrade your Pledge and live forever!

RED EPIC

Only yesterday we closed a deal to shoot the series on the Epic cameras from RED. These 5k digital monsters are some of the best around, and have an amazing HDR capacity to produce stunning images in low and natural light situations. The end of the world will be beautiful beyond belief.

NEW POSTER

$50 backers will also get to choose between the 4 different poster designs. We present the latest one for your consideration: Kettie Jean as Otsu.

Let's do this!
