Two questions: 1) What was your budget? 2) Are you planning on doing another one?

[TOMPYKETTFILMS]

@Megarith1to3 The budget was only around £100, if not less.

I have another zombie script in the pipeline but it would be a massive upscale from deadrain.

[pokemonhunt97]

the moral of the story is,Do not give-up

[gelidien]

Gotta say the cinematography for this is fantastic lotsa great angles, and your main characters got the look down perfectly...but on a side note is it just me or does he seem to resemble a hint of barney calhoun from the half life series * just a odd observation XD*

[shitchops]

@CryingEyesOD I think that may have something to do with most the ppl playing L4D before they wrote the zombie story :P

[shitchops]
