Synopsis/Details
CAMP Z is a whacky half-hour animated comedy about a lonely but optimistic boy whose physical difference has made him feel alone and misunderstood his entire young life. Until his inattentive family dumps him off at fat camp for the summer, where he finds his tribe among the most unexpected group of campers.
On a larger level, it's about acceptance of self and others, and overcoming life's challenges in the face of unexpected horrors. Who better to understand what it's like to be an outcast than a zombie?
It's Family Guy meets South Park meets The Walking Dead!
Created & Written by Langley McArol
