Most twelve-year-olds are busy with friends, homework, and online chatting. So is Emily Hagins, but Emily found time to write and direct a feature-length zombie movie as well.
With the help of her mother as agent, crew, and biggest fan, Emily launches a two year adventure in genre filmmaking, complete with decapitations, disembowelments, and as many brain-sucking zombie sixth-graders as she can muster.
Along the way she comes of age, battling everything from budget shortfalls to self-doubt. And she does it all without a driver’s license. Her journey is an enlightening look into a growing world of young moviemakers, bursting with enthusiasm and empowered by the digital age.
Emily isn’t making her film for box office receipts. Her love of movies is the sole motivation. This is indie filmmaking at its purest.
This looks awesome, its like American Movie for the Hanna Montana set.
