Frackin’ Zombies Dangerously Close to Shambling!
The indie flick Frackin’ Zombies has made it to the Top 15 in the Cinecoup film accelerator, meaning the filmmakers are getting close to possibly getting it financed. That being said, we figured we’d give you an update because… well… fire-breathing zombies. Enough said?
From the Press Release:
Winnipeg production company Zell-Koj Studio, producer of the upcoming 2015 slasher/thriller Dark Forest, is developing Frackin’ Zombies, its second genre feature, which is in the 2015 Cinecoup accelerator competition.
After a fracking disaster in the town of Allure, long divided townsfolk are left needing a hero. Allure is a booming town financed by fracking and is home to “Pleasantville” type folks. Long ago the naysayers were driven to live alongside the biker babes, aka “Brazen Black Hearts,” on the fringes of town. DUSTY, respected leader of the babes, is the rightful owner of land where an old fracking operation is. DUSTY and the babes make a final stand for land and life as corrupt Mayor Paul’s thugs let greed get the better of the them and unknowingly unleash a reign of terror of fire-breathing zombies.
The Cinecoup Film Accelerator gives each team weekly marketing missions; the top team will receive $1 million in financing and a guaranteed theatrical release.
Zell-Koj Studio has completed all missions and currently was announced as making it to the Top 15, which means Frackin’ Zombies is in the running for the Top 5. The Top 5 go to Banff Media Festival, where they pitch in front of a panel of industry professionals.
