Zombie Day Apocalypse is a short film that was short during the 2015 Portland Film Festival utilizing almost 3,000 DIY zombies and fleeing Portlandia townsfolk. In the short, you see an actor (known as Face-Plant) who is in the middle of filming a campy horror movie. He runs around a corner in an excited panic, followed by a couple of other running townsfolk. Face-Plant trips and falls on the pavement, breaking his ankle. As the other two fleeing people help him, you see zombies begin to flood around the corners and engulf the three people. The two fleeing people abandon Face-Plant and he is engulfed by zombies. You then hear an on-scene director yell "Cut!" and begin to berate the actors...whether they be human or zombie, and direct them to return to "first positions". Eventually you see the same thing happen again...but this time the hordes are much greater in number...there is blood on Face-Plant when he stands up, and when the director tries to stop the film, he too is engulfed by the zombie hordes. It turns out that there was a real apocalypse taking place during the mock filming of the B-rated, zombie movie.
