Phil the Zombie - A 2010 National PTA Reflections Winner [Beauty is...]

Directed by Travis Lien

This film won an award of excellence at the national level and the outstanding award at state level (WA state) of the 2009-2010 PTA Reflections competition with the theme "Beauty is..."

In an increasingly apocalyptic world, one zombie stands out from all the others. Phil is a zombie with self-esteem issues. The neighbors are afraid of him, he has an awful speech impediment, and everyone thinks he wants to eat their brains. Phil is becoming desperate to find a friend, before depression consumes what is left of his soul.

This is our entry into the 2009 PTA Reflections contest with the theme "Beauty Is..." As usual, this version is the director's cut which includes footage not shown in the Reflections version.

The official review:
"With some simple props and (startling) face paint, the filmmaker has created a cohesive, engaging tale. Sophisticated screen play, seamless editing. The occasional wooden acting scarcely detracts. Excellent!"
-Leigh K. Williams, President, Battelle Film Club Association

Cast:
William as Phil the Zombie, Elspeth as the nice lady, Brandon and Payton as the mean children, and Austin, Brandon, and Scott as zombies.

What is the name of the piano song at the title sequence? It's pretty...:)

[WatchReelFilms]

@em0girl2 Oh right, I cut the credits off before I posted this, for privacy reasons with names and such. The song is Gymnopédie No. 1 (Lent et Douloureux) from French composer Erik Satie's "Trois Gymnopédies." It's a nice classical piece :)
