Deadscapes (FREE indie zombie short film)

December 2005

Hi,

My short film project is finally done! Since July 2005, I've been working on my new project entitled Deadscapes. It's intended to be a short film series based in George Romero's living dead universe. I think of it sort of as "Night of the Living Dead: The Series." The project as a whole is intended as an independent filmmaking education for me, but also as a reconciliation for 2 and half years down the drain with my last attempt at a film project.

Hopefully, fans and indie filmmakers alike can appreciate Deadscapes. It's not pro by any means, but I hope the effort shines through as at least "well-executed amateur". This first episode was filmed from September through November (2005). It's available for purchase on DVD and a FREE version is available on VCD.

Comments and discussion are welcomed. I hope everybody enjoys.

Deadscapes Director

Synopsis:

And unexplained phenomenon has caused the recently dead to reanimate and seek the flesh of the living. In a matter of weeks, the walking dead outnumber their living counterparts. Those who survived the initial apocalyptic events are now forced to defend themselves against hordes of the undead and, often times, the living as well.

"Broken Road" is the first short film in the Deadscapes series by writer / director Kristofer Velasquez. In this installment, an unlikely trio of survivors must decide whether to trust in each other for survival or let deception seal their fates. A militant vigilante-type named Eric has survived the zombie chaos armed with a gun and an RV camper. Greg and Jesse encounter Eric after their vehicle breaks down in a land overrun by the dead. "Broken Road" takes us on a dizzying trip of death, undeath, murder, and lies."
