Silent Film....yes there are Zombies in it ;-)

I have mixed feelings about whether the gunshots belonged in a silent film and whether the subtitle should have been a titlecard. Ignoring the genre requirement I think using the gunshots as the only sound effect leant weight to them. If not for the requirement the film could have done without the 'let's do it' line entirely. I liked the connection between the score and the plot-significant keyboard prop. The makeup was simple but effective. Was it hard to get Bill Bailey's younger brother on board? I suppose regardless of oversaturation, just as every programmer has to make a 'hello world' program, every filmmaker at some point has to make a zombie movie. You at least tried to do something different (and pulled it off). Getting passed that it was a good 48hr effort. Well done.
 
The sound effects, title card, and color were all things that I had to decide. I wanted to try a modern day Zombie -Silent film. Subtitle instead of title card and wanted to steer clear of black and white comedy type. No Charlie Chaplin!!
It was pretty fun to shoot trying to bring a little bit of violence blended with a heart-felt story!!
