SUMMARY:Zombie Anonymous - Premiere Screening @ Skelmersdale Library
DESCRIPTION:MON 26 OCT\, 5PM Zombie Anonymous is a short Zomedy flick written and directed by a group of young people from Skelmersdale. The story follows Wendy who runs a local Zombie focus group. Classes are designed to help her fellow biters make a more positive contribution to society. \nTrouble is… she’s human\, annoying and doesn’t quite understand the turmoil and issues these Zombies face. Tired of Wendy’s constant bullying\, the group decide to take action and show Wendy the true joys of being a flesh eating corpse. Aspiring young filmmakers have been attending workshops at Skelmersdale Library\, working on all aspects of filmmaking from script to screen\, set-design to prosthetic make-up and all in-between. Award winning filmmaker James Shaw has been facilitating the workshops to help the group bring their vision to life (or death!).
