Call to all North Georgia Zombies and other interested Undead, for immediate casting.
Details:
What it is: Eleven-year-old director Punkzilla is now casting the Zombie Horde for his latest work in progress, a book report based on The Zombie Survival Guide.
When: Saturday February 7th, from 2pm to approximately 5pm.
Where: The home of the Olivet family, and nearby locations, weather permitting.
Requirements: All Zombies must have/bring old clothing, suitable for ruining with zombie make-up and corn syrup blood. All shapes, sizes and ages of zombies are needed, so don't be shy. We only need to film a few demonstrations of zombie Horde defense techniques and a sing-along to Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains" to be played with the credits (Used by permission of the copyright holder). Weapons experience is not necessary, as the main cast is eleven and not allowed to use real weapons.
Other details: You will be asked to sign a release to use your image. Kraft services will provide payment in the form of fresh brains after filming, but you must participate to qualify. No brain poaching allowed!
Anyone with previous zombie make-up experience who is willing to help prepare cast members will be given mutually agreeable additional compensation.
For more information/directions: email oliviafenator AT gmail DOT com

Oh, man. I wish I was closer! I'd have some zombies for you and I've done zombie makeup. Have fun though!

I'm just trying to help my son get extras for his zombie movie. Organization is not his strong suit, so I will probably be behind the camera next Saturday, when we're doing group shots (also, by then he'll be in most of the scenes). But it's his idea and he knows what he wants. It won't be graphic or bloody, because he's going for laughs.
So, yeah. We're filming some Zombie stuff. We'll have pizza and snacks. I'm still trying to figure out how much makeup I'll need, how much food, etc.
I DO think I have a local guy with some zombie makeup skills who is willing to help. Don't know if he'll be able to come by or just give me pointers. My son is leaving the make up and effects mostly to me. We'll just have to see how it goes.

I'm going to Atlanta for a show that very night...but it'd be awkward and I'd further upset the male:female ratio.

Can I be a lame-o "maybe" zombie? I have plans for early and late parts of the day and not sure if I'll be able to be there 2-5 or not, but would love to fit in some support for Mr. Punkzilla, time permitting! Oh, and don't worry about adding me to the count for the brains catering; I'll be eating out! ;-)
I do have some perfect undead apparel.

Uprooted - Awesome! I was considering contacting the donations manager at the local Goodwill, and asking if they have a pile of donated clothes that were too torn or whatever to resell.
Even if you could just drop by for a bit, it would be cool. I'm really planning on having Papa John's.
Airmanfour- it's cool. I don't want anyone to feel like they have to, or get all stressed about it. Just saying if people are in the area and casting about for something to do, it could be fun. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

His plan for the thing is very campy and I think it will be funny. I'll probably post a link when it is done.

You did mention pizza above; I just wanted to make sure if you're doing a count to make sure you have enough that you don't include me. It's pretty unlikely I'd be wanting to eat even if I do make it.
Will you email me your address? I know I've been there and all but I'm so spacey, I'm likely to end up knocking on the door of a house on the wrong street. Posts: 3149 | Registered: Jul 2005

Belle, I hope so, too! That class is taught by two teachers who jobshare-- one is his favorite teacher ever and the other is the worst teacher I've ever encountered with any of my kids. She actually told the class she hates kids and wishes she wasn't a teacher. (I've been very, very lucky that, out of all the teachers my kids have had, the only bad one is one that my son only has for two classes on two days a week.) He certainly put a lot of effort into it.
Tatiana-- I KNOW! The last time you saw them, they were so little! Big'un is as tall as me now, and his voice is changing. O_O Littl'un is almost as tall as me, but still fidgety. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

Emily had a teacher this year that on the first day announced that she was only two years away from retirement and she couldn't wait.
I had been warned away from this teacher but didn't act on it...so poor Em suffered all year with this completely unmotivated and miserable teacher who made all the kids miserable. Well, next year there is a teacher in the sixth grade who I know well (Natalie had her) and this time I'm pre-empting - I've sent a letter to the principal requesting that Emily NOT be placed in her class.
It's terrible when kids get stuck with teachers who shouldn't be teaching. He did do a great job on the video. Sounds like he learned some good lessons from the book too!

LOL! Yes, if there is ever a zombie apocalypse, we're set.
Most of his teachers really dig him, and he's been in a great mood this year. Only, now we don't know where he's going to be for school next year. It's a little nerve-wracking.
