How to be a part of this film!
We are looking for 2-5 minute clips filmed with
either smartphones or webcams. to be considered for inclusion for the final
film, if your clip is chosen your name
will be featured in the final credits of the film and IMDB listing page.

send over your 2-5 minute clip filmed using video capture devices from your
cellphone or webcam.
DSLR footage will be considered but will only make
up a total of %5-10 of the final film.
More than one person can feature on screen, please
have the consent of any extra’s for the submission.
You can be a survivor talking to the camera, a loved
one or even create a video log account on the day the zombie apocalypse
strikes, be creative, you can use props, make up or even just make yourself up
as a zombie and look at the camera, or devour some pretend flesh on screen, you
can send in multiple submissions.
Regarding content submissions for Virus of the Dead
Be Creative, the whole film is a found footage
Zombie film!
Anyone can provide content for our consideration for the film!
So talking to the direct to your camera as a
progressive video log, to a relative or
a friend on webcam or ether with your smartphone, a message to the police, a
message to a loved one, or footage of a zombie attack.
It could be you walking or running away from
zombies, or entering an unsafe environment, or even being attacked by rogue
survivors!
You can basically do whatever you want so be
creative! as long as the zombies are slow, and they can only be killed by
destroying the brain, though the footage doesn’t have to feature zombies
themselves!
The infection will hit pretty fast, so it will take
between 1-5 minutes to turn into a zombie after being infected/bitten.
You can submit more than one video and also a
different scenario, if you go over by a few minutes that’s fine!
As we are going back to people throughout the film
itself!

mini script please get in touch!

Some guidelines on the film!
This film is not a comedy, it is a non stop action
packed realistic take on the zombie apocalypse.
The zombies are slow.
They can only be killed by completely destroying the
brain itself.
The infection spreads quickly between 1-5 minutes –
but could depend on the host and who knows some people may be immune!
No one knows what caused the virus in the first
place and no one will find out in this film.
There is not a cure at this stage!
At first people are told to stay in doors then,
camps were set up by the governments across the globe to help the virus from
spreading further, It is mandatory to go into the camps, but not everyone will
be willing to do so.
The film will be packed with blood, guts, gore and
much much more!
Please Hold Your Phone SIDEWAYS When Shooting Video
We want Landscape, Horizontal shots where possible!
