A mockumentary style film about Zombie rights.

Clever, light hearted short film using Zombies as an analogy for other marginalised communities. It follows the story of one Zombie (Simon Den - played by Matt Clayton) and the challenges he faces living in an society that is not accepting of his kind. Also Stars Adam Fawns in his Best Supporting Actor role, John Bigg.

This film was made for the 48hr film project in Brisbane, Australia. When you consider what the film makers have done in just 48hrs, it is quite impressive. The film was nominated for Best Actor (Matt Clayton), Best Supporting Actor (Adam Fawns), Original Music (Robert Nobilia), SFX Makeup/hair (Lauren Jenna Peacock), and Best Screenplay (Matt Clayton)

Alternate versions
A slightly modified version of the film, with a new sound mix, was made for airing on the television programme Showreel (2013). This version was initially released online as the "Showreel Version".
