Logline:
When one tough nurse, one genius weed enthusiast, one special agent, and two vain actors
showed up on set of a Christmas film, they did not expect to face a zombie horde of gnomes and elves made to entertain and enrich the greedy pockets. They now must overcome their personal fears and prejudices to not get torn apart to become zombie chow so that they can save the holiday spirit and our world along with it.

MEET OUR Main Characters in Alphabetical Order:
ARNULFO- a highly resourceful Hispanic male in his late 20s-mid 30s. Arnulfo’s biggest
influence and inspiration in life is his grandmother who still lives in Central America and dreams
about her grandson settling down and starting his family. Arnulfo’s worldview and sense of
purpose have been shaped by his childhood tragedy. His family got into a car accident in which
his whole family except for Arnulfo died. He was rescued by his father a moment before the car
exploded. Equipped with his huge backpack, Arnulfo is always ready for whatever challenges
the day might bring and has sworn to himself that he would always be ready to help anyone in
trouble.
ATOM- physically fit stoic male of Armenian/Mediterranean descent in his early 30s. Atom
experiences life through action and is a trained martial artist and dancer. Witnessing an armed
conflict in his native country and fleeing with his family to America at a very young age left him
with a lot of emotional scars but also inspiration to never give up. Although tough on the outside,
Atom is a romantic at heart and dreams of the day when he can bring joy to people through his
love of dance and storytelling.
CYN- a tough female in her early/mid 30s. Cyn is an embodiment of a problem solver. Growing
up with 5 older brothers, Cyn always had to fight for her space, independence, and her father’s
respect. Cyn believes that the biggest crime in the world is wasting one’s potential. Cyn’s
strength also is her weakness. She expects every single person in her life to live up to her
standards which tends to lead to disappointments and lost friendships. However, even if she
hasn't heard from you in five years and wouldn't spend her time socializing with you, you can
always rely on her showing up at your doors in times of need and support with a warm smile and
years of nursing experience.
CHUCK- a male in his 50s-60s, former professional fighter who loves having heart to heart
conversations and sharing his wisdom with young people. Chuck has a good heart but
occasionally indulges himself with whiskey or sake. But you should never doubt that Chuck will
be as sober as a cucumber and ready to sacrifice his life while doing his job and fulfilling his
professional duty of a security guard who watches the gates that protect movie magic and
sometimes movie madness spilling into the world a little too soon.
DAVID- a gentle Jewish male in his mid-20s-early 30s who happens to be a huge enthusiast of
an herbal smoking ritual. David is an embodiment of Einstein’s intellect and Snoop Dog’s vibe
fused into one fragile body. David’s dream is to never grow up and always stay curious and
creative. At the first glance, David might come across as a cynical wealthy intellectual who is
just lucky enough to be a genius. However, nothing can be further from the truth. David yearns
to be a helpful member of society. And underneath his intellectual but childish cynicism hides a
charming and brave young man who is waiting for an opportunity and encouragement to test his
ability to be a solid leader.
DIRECTOR GARBER- male in his late 50s-60s with a strong chin and military presence.
Despite his tough no-nonsense old school background, Director Garber is a man who cannot
ignore his gentle heart and deep trust in humanity. He does his best to protect Kiki from her own
excessive eagerness to prove herself but eventually Kiki’s persuasiveness and memories of
Kiki’s father and his best friend prevail over his cautiousness. Despite his long years fighting
corruption and crime, Director Garber managed to preserve his faith in humanity. Unfortunately,
his trusting nature sometimes makes him too naive and exposed to those who play a different
game.
KIKI- Japanese/Asian American female in her early-mid 30s with a heart and fighting skills of a
samurai. Kiki’s dream as a special agent is to avenge her father’s mysterious murder which she
believes was ordered by Mayweather after Kiki’s father found out about Mayweather’s scheme
to steal a failed secret super-soldier formula and utilize it for his own financial benefit. Kiki is
afraid of nothing except for missing a chance to prove herself a worthy daughter and a special
agent. Her whole adult life she trained for this moment. Sometimes her drive and determination
can be mistakenly interpreted by others as her being insensitive and having a tunnel vision. But if you are brave and genuinely curious enough to ask her a personal question, you will find out that Kiki is a funny, generous, and quite a thoughtful person.
DR. MANCHINE- a mysterious handsome female in her late 40s-mid 50s. Nobody knows how
far the manipulative power of this woman stretches. However, you can never be careful enough
to protect your mind and soul from her cold logic and penetrating gaze.
MAYWEATHER- a weirdly charming man in his mid-50s-60s who lost his goodness on the
way to success. He uses his creative mind and rich imagination to fool himself that anyone who
is not as success hungry as he is deserves to be a moppet. A deep-down disappointed artist in
him still believes that all his actions are driven by a grand plan while nothing, but whiskey,
depression, and a mutant chameleon named Fluffy keep Mayweather sane but not sane enough.
It’s time to create your own fortune adventure by joining and helping our Fortune Zombies team to keep moving!
