In 2008, we started shooting a movie. It was long and frustrating and far more expensive than it should have been. It was stressful and didn’t turn out how we wanted it to. It fell victim to the budget and to a small timeframe… Continue Reading “An Interview With the Cast of “George: A Zombie Intervention””

The year was 1985. The Cola Wars were dying down as the Cold War was flaring up.
