Hateful Dead short film!
Donation protected
Hi everybody! Bo here-- I am the writer, director, and co-producer of Hateful Dead! This is a short film that, after the better part of a year, is finally ready to come into the world and be immortalized onto film (it's digital actually).
All it needs is a few last creative pushes, sheer willpower, and some cold hard cash.
So, without further ado, a bit about our short film:
Hateful Dead is a gay, zombie drama short. It follows David, a closeted football player, as he’s forced to confront his re-animated dead lover and come to terms with the role he played in his death.
Hateful Dead takes the reanimated and reimagines them.
In a world where the living have angered the departed, the dead are coming back as a representation of our guilt. And it’s hard to ignore them or just mow them down because they talk.
So, forced with a guilt that literally chases him, David calls his country cousin Jake, another resident in this deeply rural town, who does not see the problem. CHK-CHK-BOOM! They’re not even human anymore.
All the while, BOOM! BOOM! The banging on the door from Harman sends David deep into memories of how Harman’s death really happened. Tyson, their shithead classmate, showing up ready to fight, and David being unable to turn down his homophobic taunts, fighting back.
Jake arrives to help David take out Harman and he has to make his choice – does David face his guilt and accept who he is or does he leave it behind and continue to live in the world that made him the strong but destructive force that he is?
Neither will give him a tidy resolution, but his choice will be a test of his integrity and a show of how we as imperfect humans, can move on.
Every bit of funding gets us closer to making movie magic!
Thank you everyone so much for your support !! :)
