About

We open on a rooftop in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. The one-eyed leader of a motorbike gang stands before a row of bound and cowed men, brandishing a barbed wire wrapped cudgel. He points at the one clutching a flat white.

GANG LEADER: “Name?!”

MAN: “It’s Ben, sir…”

GANG LEADER: “What do you do? Give me one good reason why I should let you live?!”

MAN: “I, er, I can direct good looking, cinematic comedy TV commercials, with strong casting and nuanced performances, sir…”

GANG LEADER: “You what?”

MAN: “Before the collapse of civilisation I used to fly all over the world shooting campaigns for companies like Twix, Nissan, Amazon, Royal London Insurance, Skoda, Pinterest and Twitter. I love story telling and working with actors…(trails off)…sir”

The one-eyed thug takes a step closer…

MAN: “Perhaps I could work in your media department…”

…then ROUNDHOUSE KICKS the man in the FACE knocking him off the 7th story building into the grey mass of ravenous undead below where his screams are silenced forever.
