Undead Portland is unlike any other zombie film, in that we take what is great about the genre, give those fans what they want from this type of film, while at the same time introducing new elements and ideas to the genre. A new vision.
This film is about survival, sure. But we’ve seen that so many times in the zombie genre: the never ending loop of survivors making supply runs. This type of film has been made for the last 30 years. Why make another cardboard cutout zombie flick?
Undead Portland focuses on characters changing, and conflicts of morality. The undead are a threat, something horrifying yes, but what could be scarier than the threats that lurk in plain sight? Undead Portland is a very complex, intelligent, and realistic film about people.
While it is a zombie flick, Undead Portland is about the characters that occupy our fictional world. It’s about the difficult choices these characters make, the conflicts of interest, and paranoia/distrust between once closest of friends.
Here is a short synopsis of the project:
When Portland OR is plagued with an unknown outbreak, The U.S government creates a perimeter around the city, allowing no one to cross. Three high school friends find themselves in the middle of a dangerous landscape, as they make their way to the so called “boarders” in order to escape the city. As a rouge U.S General decides the future of the city, there are some within his ranks who refuse his commands. The dead walk the quiet neighborhoods of Portland. There is blood in the streets. There is blood on the hands of the survivors.
