Job Description
A bold, satirical short film is casting key roles for a 1980s-set zombie horror-comedy with a political twist. The story follows Flynn, a zombified ex-miner, who must battle vampire Thatcher to save Britain from her undead army. Equal parts retro parody and social commentary, this project combines horror, humor, and heart in a stylized genre piece. Filming will take place in the UK, and the tone is gritty, strange, and unapologetically anti-establishment.
