"I stole everything for the Zombies"

[DrLeftover]

A new short story for May Day

the making of "I stole everything for the Zombies"- the film

First off, I'm going to be honest with you. "I Stole..." isn't the film I wanted to make. Not by a long shot.

I had a vision for a short subject set during the time just after the War Between the US States. A period piece with costumes and all. About a young engaged woman and her wounded veteran fiancé who can't function as a man and who knows he won't live much longer and doesn't want to cheat her of that part of their marriage while he is alive and wants her to marry another fellow. She still loves him and wants to marry him regardless of the situation. Her father loves and respects his daughter's beau, but he also understands his reason for not wanting to go through with the wedding, yet he also loves his daughter deeply and will support her decision to go ahead with the wedding. My film would focus on the despair of the situation, how torn the father is, and the anguish of the young woman as she pleads with the love of her life to consent to the marriage.

However, the Film Board gave me a first time filmmaker's grant to make a picture about zombies.
