To be honest, my friends weren't really as into making films as I was. But I convinced them all to make some zombie films with me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' - I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film.
I was imagining films in my head and trying to gather friends together to make movies since I was a kid. I tried to do comedy skits and a horror film.
I go to conventions and universities and talk to young filmmakers and everybody's making a zombie movie! It's because it's easy to get the neighbors to come out, put some ketchup on them.
When I started writing, there was nothing about zombies. It was all teen movies, which to me are scarier than zombies, but that's another story.
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
I can't say I was like a die-hard zombie fan, but I've definitely seen a few different zombie movies and TV shows.
I like zombie movies, and I like genre movies a lot. To watch. Less so to make, I think. But I grew up on that stuff. I would just grow up watching a lot of horror movies, a lot of slasher movies and then zombie movies.
I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.
I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
