Eerie short with amazing sound and visuals!

Like most Dead fans, disappointed with where the TWD series and the abysmally bad spinoffs have taken us, I too agree it is time for a truly dark series the likes of which we have not seen on television or streaming services. Although this short is just a teaser, the possibilities are endless in series form. The quality is amazing, sets are fantastic, sound effects are as good as a Hollywood feature and no crew or budget to be found. Bring it on...disappointed TWD fans are ripe for new content of this quality. Thumbs up!

Set Design, Wow!

I am impressed with the overall quality of what we can see so far in this production, particularly the set work. I wonder how much time and effort the film maker Mr. Russell put into these sets. As a professional in the industry, it appears that a full crew pulled this off. If that is not the case, Wow! I really like how the pipes are used as a focal point to draw the camera forward throughout the spaces and the use of light, as in afterlife accounts, to draw the Z towards life is a brilliant take on life after death. Like others, I look forward to seeing where this goes once fully developed.

Viewing Link?

The footage looks awesome for a low budget indie project....any chance of getting a link to view the pilot? I am a die hard Walker fan and have head it up to my neck in bad Apocalyptic TV, spin-off's and all. I am definitely looking forward to a new show to follow, especially one that looks as creepy as this....finally someone is getting it right!

FAQ

Is it true, the Director not only did all the filming, camera work etc. on this production, but the acting as well due to his inability to hire talent during Covid19? That is crazy, how is that even possible. With the little bit of footage available online, you can clearly see the results of a top notch production.
What camera/lenses were used to get this Pro Gritty look to the film?
That looks awesome, where can I see it?
