My son has made family video, as well as weddings.. ( and he has done an amazing job..) So when I read that you had a budget of only 200 dollars and finished this in seven months I am impressed.. I will never understand how people can be so critical.. I when you have no clue the amount of work that goes into a project like this one.. Instead of running these young people down ..perhaps comment on how brave they were ...to go forward.....If these young people were my friend and family I would be so proud of them.. I dont know them and I am proud.. I truly enjoyed your film..and can only imagine how amazing your films will be in the years to come.. Keep on making films.. dont let anyone stop you from doing what you love and enjoy.. Thank you for posting your film.. again I really enjoyed it... I am subscribing and liking your film.. all my best.. grandma
Well most of the budget of major films goes into salery, catering (chuckle) as well as marketing. As this is a student film all work for free, eat Mommies goods of the care packet and there is no marketing =)
Ok I admire your positive outlook, but do you really think its clever or creative to do one more half assed zombie movie? I understand the money constraints and I applaud all those that gave their time to do this, but come on please, if someone came up to me and said "I am going to do a zombie movie for my project!" I would strongly advise against it unless it was only a vehicle for them to show they know how to hold a camera! Its a jaded theme and only goes to shine a light on their LACK of creative talent.
People are making personal remarks about the producer, this is just the manner of expression in response to post apoplectic genre of films, the cinematography is good, the acting good, viewers are fans of the genre, part of the fun is pointing out life after apocalypse and how there are parallels, just one long film for most, as they catch up with another round of survivors. It's just that, we can't hide from the Virus Corona Covid 19, and it seems to me I would be hiding in the bush or walking anyplace but the middle of a highway, in a city I would be searching for a basement window, after all zombies seem to have trouble going down stairs, in most films they run up stairs. You can better judge the film by the number of people who watch it, so don't worry, your son will probably make another and next time, please permit survivors to find clever ways of hiding as they travel in search of humanity, Ok? Have fun with your talented son.
I know...my Best Friend made a Music Video(Didnt fly) but the locations and time spent was fenominal!!! And costly...those neg comments belong to clueless minds...PSSST...YOU ALWAYS START SOMEWHERE(I was told as a child..."75% of the job...is getting it started!!!) GOOD JOB YOUNG MAN!!!!
@John Bower, Riiiiight! Like "Walking Dead" Zombies could really happen?!? Sure, some could become walking Biohazard humans but REALLY?!? Walking dead that seek to kill you eat human flesh??!!?? WTH wouldn't they be eating each other? Would they be so inclined to want to eat ONLY "fresh" human flesh? SERIOUSLY?!? Yeah, it ain't happening, now or EVER! But as long as Hollyweird keeps making movies about such happenings, folks will continue to watch them (as will I to an extent) for the entertainment value. But the survival "tactics" are ridiculous and entirely unrealistic. But might as well have fun making fun of those who believe it possible. Bwhahahahahahahaha!! Overnout
@@user-td1zo3tv9p... Yes... because everyone knows that NOBODY (government or otherwise) would ever try to manipulate the genome of a virus to create some type of weapon out of it... And everyone knows that, even if they ever did... NOTHING could ever go awry because they're so smart... And, in the "absolutely impossible" event that someone DID what no one would ever do... And, in the far less likely event that anything DID go awry (as we know could never happen)... Then, at least we KNOW that THEY would be totally honest about it, admit their mistake, and share whatever necessary cure with EVERYONE. It's a relief to know that this, or any variation on this... is impossible.
@@user-td1zo3tv9p... BTW... if you haven't already seen it... check out the movie "Quarantine"... It is still "just a movie"... but it is actually a fairly realistic/possible scenario. I'm not saying I "expect" it to happen... but there truly isn't anything to prevent it either.
The girl fails to stay concealed (sits out in the open). She has no medical supplies. Walks into an "unknown" situation, does not assess situation, and where "bad" people want to kill her. Then she loses her weapons, her go-pack.... a film about getting yourself killed. How about a film about the right things to do !!??
I was thinking the same. That girl wouldn't have lasted a week in that kind of situation. A short on what to have and how to survive would be a great idea.
she should go single shot, not burst was the first thing that bugged me. Plus like all the things you mentioned not doing, yet she survived for 200+ days???
@@tegunn... Obviously she somehow managed to avoid all encounters for the first 200+ days... and the story joins her at her first encounter. Had she been having such encounters every day, or even every OTHER day... she would have run out of ammo 175 days ago. One 10 round magazine per day (and it looked like she was using more than that) times 200 days = 2000 rounds... I doubt she could have carried (any more than) that, traveling on foot.

Over all Well done. MOST "civilians & untrained & in experienced" would probably act and function this way. As a former military officer and survival instructor - who now makes Indie films, it is VERY important to TRY to see the "other perspectives" when making this sort of film. HOWEVER, humans adapt and adjust VERY QUICKLY! by day 200 there would be MAJOR changes in both girls. Thanks. Good film.
At first it was like any zombie apocalypse film, the end was a nice change. I hope that this is leading up to another film to explore the idea of a cure and how that story arch can unfold.
I know right!! If these film students want to show their original and creative ideas by doing an exhausted zombie trope then how dare anyone call them out for their stunning lack of creativity!!

Greg Flores really, I sound butthurt? I feel like the “butthurt” one is you getting triggered by my observation of how many experts there were to a completely fictional creation. Also 2005 called, it wants it’s slang back.
zoey zoey zoey Yes, very butt hurt, sorry you got so emotional bout MY observation, but little girls are very sensitive, I will be more considerate of your feelings,...
I thought this was a great work. Reading what your limitations for budget and time amazed me that you put something so good together. Don't listen to all the "clean hair, clean shirt, auto-fire etc." crap people are commenting about. Temporary Suspension of Disbelief people. I've seen 50 million dollar movies where burning cigarettes get longer and almost empty beers refill and 9mm Glocks fire 30+ rounds on a single clip and machine guns never run out etc. etc. Ad nauseum. The plot moved along quickly as it has to if you wanna tell your story. Don't stop. Don't listen to haters and overly critical nitpickers. None of them would ever make it to day 212 with such blinders obscuring their vision. Well Done!
Another post apocalyptic short in which more effort was placed in intro and credits than screenplay. For someone to have survived 200+ days alone, the girl is amazingly naive and inexperienced.

I work with your dad, and he's been talking about your movie for awhile. I've been looking forward to seeing it, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed! Keep up the awesome work!
Barnaby ap Robert That’s the first thing I noticed, clean clothes, skin and hair, blows thru ammo like Sportsman Guide is open and right down the block, it won’t be like this, I get dirty just target shooting on the weekend.
Well done. Nothing original beyond one alone for duration, but an interesting story. And, plot twist in short film was unexpected, priceless. This is pretty good work. look forward to the next.
After the fall, why is it in all survivor films the survivor sits in open fields,walks in the middle of road builds fires and does everything to become a target/
Great short flick. I love short movies…especially independent. And apparently with almost no budget to do this, it’s amazing. Great job, very creative and worth an Emmy in my opinion! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 5 thumbs up!
YESSSS!!! One of my high school's cafeteria ladies got capped at 5:14 to 5:16. It's only fitting that she was fated to craving and devouring human flesh.
people need to stop worrying about the zombie apocalypse that's never going to happen and start worrying about the idiot apocalypse that's already upon us.
You mean AOC and her 4 million Twitter followers AREN'T the Zombie Apocalypse-? 'Cause like, I was kinda thinking the Second Seal was broken when that horse-faced harlot of Babylon started flapping her crimson red harlot lips.
Please don't take things wrong, I'm only trying to help. A little tip for using airsoft guns in movies. Mix some led shot and putty or clay, pull the gun apart and fill it full. With it being much heaver actors won't need to act like they are and will make them look much more realistic wile filming. About 1.5 lbs for handguns and 8.0 lbs for rifles. Take a look at 4:53 she holds the rifle with one hand like it's made of plastic then points it at her leg, she knows it's not real and treats as such. I did enjoy the movie and look forward to more.
Lots of picky negative comments. Its better than most I have seen. People expect characters to be perfect, make no mistakes. Perfection makes for a boring movie. Mistakes are human and believeable. Its better than anything I could produce.
This is actually, the second time I've watched this... and I caught something this time, I hadn't notice in the first viewing. This video was done by DA (Douglas Anderson School of the Arts) which, both my younger sisters were students at when we lived in Jax. I was really tickled to see a familiar name associated with this project and showed it to the younger of the two sisters... it gave her a BIG smile to see it also. Anyway, really good work y'all!! Keep it up!! 😁
I really enjoy the post apocalyptic and apocalyptic films... Your film really impressed me... most of those i have seen are just not that great... I will be watching for you on the big screen.. ty for sharing your work with us... btw anything new you might be working on.. would love to know so I can see it..
Thank you Sherry! Making it big in the film world has always been my dream and I am so happy that this film comes across as a success! For the most up to-date material and to see behind the scenes looks at my upcoming projects, follow me on Instagram @directordoublem Thanks again!
She Had A Fully Automatic SBR! Wow!!! Most Civilians Don't Have Them And They Definitely Waste Tons Of Ammo!!! Excellent Work!!! I Definitely Support Indie Film Makers! Keep Up The Great Work!
I've so far watched about 6 min of this video, its fusging awesome! great job :3 Edit: The video was amazing. aww man.. i've always wanted to create an apocalypse short film but i don't have actors, it's too few :c
Loved it, the way you filmed the zombies attacking and their sounds was better than the walking dead. Great job, would love to see a full picture by you.
If this was done on a budget of $200, this was outstanding. Had typical zombie feel, but had sympathetic characters and realistically brutal decision making.
1) real weapons have recoil 2) she's been out a year and finally the ammo runs out 3) she's been out a year, stayed alive, but lacks recon skills 4) the guy in-supply has blood on his face 5) she actually hits her target while both a) running and b) turning around to do it.
I have to say I am a VERY strict critic when it comes to any of the post apocalyptic films I see but this was very well done, sure there were details that were obviously overlooked but without a million+ dollar budget & years to complete I doubt many could have done a better job 👍
Not bad for such a low budget. The scenes were well shot with good angles and the young lady gave a believable performance. Special effects werent bad considering you werent using real blanks.Overall very well done. Look forward to watching your future film projects if you choose to make more. Also I have to say in a true apocalypse situation and your gun is selective fire Dont fire on full-automatic or burst mode. You have to fire on semi-automatic to make every shot count because ammo will be scarce,lol. I had to mention it. Stay Awesome.
anyone else find the voices are too low? watching on my laptop at max no plugs tho sorry shudda waited b4 posting but it was hard to hear in the back of the truck...or maybe i need my ears checked....lol
I liked it !!! Complete story for a change !!!!!!! I get so tired of vague, mysterious endings that are supposed to show how enlightened / philosophically nuanced the film maker is, for his psychologically elusive hidden meanings ......... which actually means he probably just ran out of budget , and rolled credits , while people praise him for his astounding intuitive insight.................
So...her face has mud smears...but her white shirt is relatively clean. And her hair is nice and clean, waves in the breeze. Not dirty and greasy and stringy as if...well...it was the Zombie Apocalypse and she's been wandering the wasteland for so long. In fact, nice clean white pickup truck, too! Looks like everything white stays clean in the ZA! Gosh- I love it when film makers pay artention to details! Seriously...watch THE ROAD for a lesson in realistic costumes and hygiene post apocalyptic scemarios. As is, the girls' clothes are cleaner looking than 90% of the homeless people I see in modern cities with all modern amenities available.
stopped at 2:10....must comment on these low budget post-apoc films. everything is too clean! other than the blood on their faces, which amazingly did not make it to their white shirts, they are spotless. new clothes, backpack and gun. don't get me wrong, i'm not a troll, it is just annoying to see this over and over again. so here is a bit of advice for all you future post-apoc film makers. take everything the actors will be wearing or using and get it really dirty. rough it up a bit. this cost little to nothing. hell, you could just go to a thrift store/garage sales and get old items. then tell the actors to not shower for a few days before filming. doing this will make your films so much more realistic. like i said, i'm not a troll....thank you for the hard work.
Matthew Manyak did a excellent job on writing & directing this film, his lead actress Brittney Paul did a excellent job on acting.. also Camera quality was excellent..
Being a Walking Dead fan, this was intriguing. I like when she looked at the map; Jacksonville, Florida. At least the actual city was shown. The empty streets at the end looked like the Northside.
There are a lot of negative comments, but I think it was well done. You can dirty up the actress and clothes a bit, it wouldn't hurt the effect and it wouldn't cost any money, but other than that, pretty well done. Good story.
Excellent job, With the female lead, thought you would have played the gender-bending role. And you did not. You played it real and it realistically showed on camera. Very good job with this short.
Ronn Sven Thank you so much! I certainly wanted to go for realism and not an overplayed dramatized version of what an audience might normally expect from a zombie short film. I'm glad that it achieved this result!

chechatonga yeah bricks can come in handy though when you ran out of ammo lol!
Actually ur best self defense is track
@@chechatonga9502, or even one, single, reload.
The happy ending destroyed the postapocalyptic zombie feeling. There can't be feelings of joy in the shadow of the living dead.
this is one of the best post apocalyptic survivor short film i have seen for a long time
YESSSS!!! One of my high school's cafeteria ladies got capped at 5:14 to 5:16. It's only fitting that she was fated to craving and devouring human flesh.
Awsome , 2 big thumbs up. Thank you.
You have to love it when she writes in the diary that the ammo is almost gone, then uses bursts of full auto on zombies a minute later.
Camera work just amazing. Acting credible. Thanks to all involved for the few minutes of entertainment.
Really good!! Enjoyed more than most 2hr movies!!👍👍
people need to stop worrying about the zombie apocalypse that's never going to happen and start worrying about the idiot apocalypse that's already upon us.
You mean AOC and her 4 million Twitter followers AREN'T the Zombie Apocalypse-?
'Cause like, I was kinda thinking the Second Seal was broken when that horse-faced harlot of Babylon started flapping her crimson red harlot lips.
Loved it!! I hope you guys make part 2
Great movie. All actors and actresses were spot on. Thanks for sharing it.
Please don't take things wrong, I'm only trying to help. A little tip for using airsoft guns in movies. Mix some led shot and putty or clay, pull the gun apart and fill it full. With it being much heaver actors won't need to act like they are and will make them look much more realistic wile filming. About 1.5 lbs for handguns and 8.0 lbs for rifles. Take a look at 4:53 she holds the rifle with one hand like it's made of plastic then points it at her leg, she knows it's not real and treats as such. I did enjoy the movie and look forward to more.
That's a pretty good idea. Thank you for the recommendation!
Great film with beautiful actresses that can act very great!
I enjoyed this. Great job to everyone involved!
Good short. Straight up original and the acting was straight. Keep up the good work!!👍👍👍
Lots of picky negative comments. Its better than most I have seen. People expect characters to be perfect, make no mistakes. Perfection makes for a boring movie. Mistakes are human and believeable. Its better than anything I could produce.
This is great work! Thanks
Nice touch with the ending, finding a cure. Well done short film.
Great Film. Heavy. Well Done
This is actually, the second time I've watched this... and I caught something this time, I hadn't notice in the first viewing. This video was done by DA (Douglas Anderson School of the Arts) which, both my younger sisters were students at when we lived in Jax. I was really tickled to see a familiar name associated with this project and showed it to the younger of the two sisters... it gave her a BIG smile to see it also. Anyway, really good work y'all!! Keep it up!! 😁
For a zombie short film, this is very good. Just might give The Walking Dead a run for the money. Great work. Well written and acted.
Very nice job. That was great!
Took me a minute to realize it wasn’t Enid from the walking dead.😁
This is the first post-apocalyptic film to feature a skipping zombie. Around 15:30. The only way you can top that is with a hula-hooping zombie.
I really enjoy the post apocalyptic and apocalyptic films... Your film really impressed me... most of those i have seen are just not that great... I will be watching for you on the big screen.. ty for sharing your work with us... btw anything new you might be working on.. would love to know so I can see it..
Thank you Sherry! Making it big in the film world has always been my dream and I am so happy that this film comes across as a success!

Thanks again!
Good film everyone great job to all who participated
I knew it was NE Florida before she found the map, Hannah Park was the giveaway. Awesome job 🤘😎🤘
Discount Enid
Meme Recycler good one!!!
I like the way that the roas have remained so super clean and weed-free despite the absence of traffic.
She Had A Fully Automatic SBR! Wow!!! Most Civilians Don't Have Them And They Definitely Waste Tons Of Ammo!!! Excellent Work!!! I Definitely Support Indie Film Makers! Keep Up The Great Work!
I've so far watched about 6 min of this video, its fusging awesome! great job :3
Edit: The video was amazing.
aww man.. i've always wanted to create an apocalypse short film but i don't have actors, it's too few :c
When she has to kill the zombie with the railroad spike, that’s when a pair of assassins creed hidden blades would come in handy.
Loved it, the way you filmed the zombies attacking and their sounds was better than the walking dead. Great job, would love to see a full picture by you.
pretty darn good. thanks for the film.
Why can't zombies use their arms and can't run worth a shit? Such a strange affliction.
So good! Finnaly a good end on these films!
World War Z ended positively.
@@gunabaphie3045...
Yes... even if it was propaganda to bolster confidence/trust in the United Nations.
If this was done on a budget of $200, this was outstanding. Had typical zombie feel, but had sympathetic characters and realistically brutal decision making.
1) real weapons have recoil 2) she's been out a year and finally the ammo runs out 3) she's been out a year, stayed alive, but lacks recon skills 4) the guy in-supply has blood on his face 5) she actually hits her target while both a) running and b) turning around to do it.
I have to say I am a VERY strict critic when it comes to any of the post apocalyptic films I see but this was very well done, sure there were details that were obviously overlooked but without a million+ dollar budget & years to complete I doubt many could have done a better job 👍
Steve Hicks you’re obviously not a VERY strict critic then.
This was actually one the best i have ever seen!
Nice film. It actually made sense, which is unusual for the genre of short films.
At least they still have Moleskine notebooks... and some fine young cannibals.
this is so good this film made me feel like I was in it hop you guys can make more
Not bad for such a low budget. The scenes were well shot with good angles and the young lady gave a believable performance. Special effects werent bad considering you werent using real blanks.Overall very well done. Look forward to watching your future film projects if you choose to make more. Also I have to say in a true apocalypse situation and your gun is selective fire Dont fire on full-automatic or burst mode. You have to fire on semi-automatic to make every shot count because ammo will be scarce,lol. I had to mention it. Stay Awesome.
Yeah, finally one with a happy ending, good job on short movie !
That full auto airsoft rifle that never opens its ejection port port and never ejects brass also never runs out of ammo. I need one of those things.
anyone else find the voices are too low? watching on my laptop at max no plugs tho
sorry shudda waited b4 posting but it was hard to hear in the back of the truck...or maybe i need my ears checked....lol
Lord knows who in hell gives these movies awards! Like, for real?
Even with a low budget sir this was truly amazing you should feel proud of yourself
What to c a good one!! We Sit , we Drink, no Guns. its the best ive seen.
She must have shampoo and conditioner in her bug out bag.
I noticed right away: the perfect hair, the white shirt without a stain, the blank diary and the subtle make-up.
James Hooker I carry dry shampoo that's mixed with lice lotion in all 3 of my bugout bags
yup the first thing I noticed when the movie started, couldn't have been that hard to simply not wash your hair for a couple of days beforehand..
Her rifle looks like it came straight out of the box.
Every girl has shampoo, conditioner, and a hair-dryer in her bug-out bag...ever been camping with one?
This was so great!!! Very well done! 👏 👏
Nice work, thanks for the upload
I liked it !!! Complete story for a change !!!!!!! I get so tired of vague, mysterious endings that are supposed to show how enlightened / philosophically nuanced the film maker is, for his psychologically elusive hidden meanings ......... which actually means he probably just ran out of budget , and rolled credits , while people praise him for his astounding intuitive insight.................
So...her face has mud smears...but her white shirt is relatively clean. And her hair is nice and clean, waves in the breeze. Not dirty and greasy and stringy as if...well...it was the Zombie Apocalypse and she's been wandering the wasteland for so long.
In fact, nice clean white pickup truck, too! Looks like everything white stays clean in the ZA!
Gosh- I love it when film makers pay artention to details!
Seriously...watch THE ROAD for a lesson in realistic costumes and hygiene post apocalyptic scemarios.
As is, the girls' clothes are cleaner looking than 90% of the homeless people I see in modern cities with all modern amenities available.
When somebody comes to rescue you , you don t ask who she is . You say hello and thank you .
Even during a post apocalyptic event , we will still hold to our guns dearly.
GREAT SHORT FILM--MAKE MORE --GOOD LUCK ON YOUR CAREERS
stopped at 2:10....must comment on these low budget post-apoc films. everything is too clean! other than the blood on their faces, which amazingly did not make it to their white shirts, they are spotless. new clothes, backpack and gun. don't get me wrong, i'm not a troll, it is just annoying to see this over and over again. so here is a bit of advice for all you future post-apoc film makers. take everything the actors will be wearing or using and get it really dirty. rough it up a bit. this cost little to nothing. hell, you could just go to a thrift store/garage sales and get old items. then tell the actors to not shower for a few days before filming. doing this will make your films so much more realistic. like i said, i'm not a troll....thank you for the hard work.
Matthew Manyak did a excellent job on writing & directing this film, his lead actress Brittney Paul did a excellent job on acting.. also Camera quality was excellent..
Being a Walking Dead fan, this was intriguing. I like when she looked at the map; Jacksonville, Florida. At least the actual city was shown. The empty streets at the end looked like the Northside.
There are a lot of negative comments, but I think it was well done. You can dirty up the actress and clothes a bit, it wouldn't hurt the effect and it wouldn't cost any money, but other than that, pretty well done. Good story.
I expect they all had fun and learned from doing this.
Keep at it
This was great Good Job Loved It.
Excellent job, With the female lead, thought you would have played the gender-bending role. And you did not. You played it real and it realistically showed on camera. Very good job with this short.
Ronn Sven Thank you so much! I certainly wanted to go for realism and not an overplayed dramatized version of what an audience might normally expect from a zombie short film. I'm glad that it achieved this result!
Nice film but drop the machine gun weapon. Semi auto is realistic and smart, Burst or auto is fake and waste of ammo
Except in a Large Group, 100 yds or less . . . bullet goes THRU one guy, hits the guy "Behind" him !.
@@montanabulldog9687 ...
The "zombie movie norm" is... only head shots kill.
@@bobinthewest8559 The SAME RULE "Would Apply" . . . just AIM HIGHER !
Awesome Better then a lot of shorts I've seen NICELY done :)
Too many con-trails in the sky. Don't fire on auto unless your going down. But great job on a "low" budget, keep it up.
using full auto on zombies is just a waste of ammo which will be in short supply
I saw a contrail once in a John Wayne western.
I think you mean Chem trails
Chemtrail
If she would take the gun off of full auto and aim, she would save ammo.
Nice stuff, good actress and very pretty
The lead character has some glorious hair....
Lots of hair conditioner in that backpack.
No ammo or water, though.
Maybe she should have squirted conditioner into the zombie's eyes?!
😜😂😂😂
