“A modern fairytale — but with zombies,” reads the synopsis. “When the sheltered and unsocialized Oliver (Max Harwood) is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he decides that digging a few up (literally) might be his best bet. However, when he awakens the morning after his excavating escapades, he discovers that his newly acquired friends have mysteriously come to life overnight, launching them all into a series of misadventures as they try to keep their secret safe from neighbors, bullies, and social workers alike.”
The film is produced by Ashworth, Matt Williams, Pat Wintersgill, Ryan Hamilton, and Karl Hall.
