Brief Summary:
Emily Hagins is making a zombie movie. It’s feature-length, it’s bloody, and the zombies don’t run. Just like it should be. But there’s just one difference between her film and every other zombie movie you’ve ever seen. Emily is twelve.

Full Description:
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. Zombie Girl: THE MOVIE covers the two years it took her to make it.

With the help of her mother as agent, crew, and biggest fan, Emily launches an epic adventure in genre filmmaking, complete with decapitations, disembowelments, and as many brain-sucking zombie sixth-graders as she can muster.

Along the way, she battles the typical challenges of independent filmmaking, from budget shortfalls to self-doubt, all while coming of age as a teenager. As if making a film isn’t already hard enough, she has to do it 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. She isn’t making her film for box office receipts. Her love of movies is the sole motivation. This is indie filmmaking at its purest.

Directors Aaron Marshall, Eric Mauck and Justin Johnson as well as Emily, her parents and members of the cast will be in attendance at the show.

Also note that starting at 3pm on Sunday 9/21 members of the effects team will be set up in the lobby to make up audience volunteers as zombies!

This film is sponsored by The Long Center.

Great documentary about the young film maker. Very thoughtful. Film makers captured the struggles and the insights of the 11 year old film maker. Good job in documenting the relationship and perspectives of the mother and daughter.
