Daily Recommendation: Zombie Girl

Date:

IONCINEMA.com Daily Recommendation

Available today, until next Thursday (August 20th) – SnagFilms SummerFest is presenting Zombie Girl. Without knowing anything about the film, you’d think this is a low budget horror film – but au contraire readers, this is a documentary film that follows the enthusiasm of 12 year-old Emily Hagins, who decides to write and direct her own feature length Zombie horror flick. 

Just like how Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe followed Terry Gilliam and struck gold with Lost in La Mancha, here Justin Johnson, Aaron Marshall and Erik Mauck followed a 12 year-old and the doc has a pretty outstanding film festival life – it was the Official Selection of AFI Dallas international film festival, winner of the spirit award in Slamdance and was the official selection in the HotDocs festival.
