Zombie Extra

Zombie Extra tells the story of Peter Knight, a struggling actor disconnected from his roles, and his life. In love with a girlfriend who cheats on him, and struggling to find work, he hopes something, anything will happen. Lightning strikes the toxic Gowanus Canal of Brooklyn and Aldo, the victim of a long-forgotten Mafia hit, is reanimated. The zombie Aldo attacks Peter and now the only work he can find is as an extra in horror films. Peter’s best friend Nicholas, a zombie enthusiast, tries to help him return to his former human self, but Peter is having the time of his life, even while being undead. In the tradition of films like Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, Zombie Extra plays on our greatest fears of getting our flesh eaten while still managing to tickle our funny bones.
