Zombie Harvest (2003) – UK, 11 mins
An alternative to Diary of the Dead, Zombie Harvest is a comedy / horror set in the English countryside. A scientist secretly working at the local American Army base is hunted by two soldiers after he flees the base. Little known to them, the scientist has used himself as a human laboratory, conducting tests with tragic consequences. Told through the eyes of one of the soldiers, the story takes a dramatic turn when the chase enters a farmyard. A slick zombie romp with nods to the Carry On… and Ealing Comedy films of the 50’s and 60’s with a touch of Peter Jackson’s madness.

When the zombies suddenly attack the saloon, action begins and true characters are brought to daylight. The film is inspired by Sergio Leones’s classic Westerns and there are several references to the genre to be found in the film. The style is a mixture of hand-held puppets and animation. Besides the funny characters and the gory action, it is the richness of highly prepared and surprising details that makes this film a unique experience full of dark humour.

Dead Hungry (2009) – UK, 10 mins
Dead Hungry is the debut fiction short film from director Will Bridges. Set in a classic 1970’s American B-Movie the story centres around Jed, who is starving; he hasn’t eaten for days. He’s lost and alone, wandering around a vast forest searching for the one thing that can satisfy his insatiable hunger… human brains. The problem is he can’t catch a thing. He is a loser; he was a loser in life, and nothing seems to have changed now he is dead. But can the pity of a recently dead/undead woman turn his luck?
