In the New Year, Corn Bred Films wishes you peace, love and joy...and gives you fair warning for 2012's Zompocalypse. The Mayan calendar tells us we have less than a year left until the world as we know it ends, and a brave new world begins. No one knows what the new world will look like except, perhaps, our friends Darren and Dale, who plan to spend the next year preparing for the coming storm in hopes of "twarting" the Zompocalypse.
Please watch their videos and kick in $5 (or more) to support their efforts. Then please post our link and share this email to give the gift of preparedness to all of the conspiracy theorists and zombie aficionados in your lives (I'm looking at you, Uncle Eddie).

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
ZOMPOCALYPSO tells the heartwarming story of Darren and Dale (brothers, best friends, and possibly cousins), convinced that the end of the Mayan calendar is about to bring on the "Zompocalypse."
The duo retreat to their family's remote farmhouse to await the coming storm. As sh*t begins to get increasingly real, the brothers prepare themselves to become the last known survivors of a brave, new, and possibly undead world.
ZOMPOCALYPSO intends to do for "found footage" horror films what films like "Shaun of the Dead" did for zombie films or "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" did for slasher films.
Check out this video edited from an improv by our principal actors:
OUR APPROACH
Chris Meister (Dale), Mike Manship (Darren) and I (Eric Anderson...not a character name, I'm the director) have sketched out scenes and objectives a la "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and we intend to let the cameras roll and see what happens.
I'll also be "Blair Witch-ing" things by introducing unexpected situations, objects and other actors for our leads to deal with.
And of course, at the end of filming our entire cast and crew will disappear, leaving only our footage behind.
Filming is currently scheduled for spring 2012 in Kansas and Illinois.
