Help Us Make Unlikely Friends (A Short Film)

We are a couple of young filmmakers looking for donors to help us hit our target budget for the short film, "Unlikely Friends." Our team is comprised of festival selected filmmakers with a brand new vision.

As this film falls into the horror genre, it is our goal for it to be released in time for Halloween 2024.

Film Synopsis:

Most humans have either turned to zombies or have passed away. There are few survivors struggling to make ends meet, attempting to live normal lives through the mayhem that is the current state of the world. One survivor, living alone in an abandoned LA household has his home invaded by one of the undead. Though his first instinct is to attack and kill the intruder, he finds said zombie to be quite the chiller, and the two become unlikely friends.

Donations will help us in a variety of ways, including:
