Hello Dear Friends,
The film continues to move forward. Right now, I'm navigating the legal and technical issues - which is as exhausting and boring as it sounds. Despite being sooooo close to the finish line, I still don't have a firm idea of when I can share the film. As always, my apologies and thank you for your patience.
So, here's a peak at something else!
The most powerful filmmaking tool!
The orange post-its cover shots we're not tackling that day.
Would you like to take a crack at storyboarding yourself? Here are the storyboard templates I created and have used for the last decade.

Many of you snagged one of the 4,500 original storyboards I did for the film. I wanted to dress them up for you a bit so I made the custom Frank & Zed trading cards. What do you think? P.s. If you missed out, you can snag one here while supplies last!
More good stuff on the way. As always, thanks for your patience!

Hey Friends!
I hope this finds you well amidst all this madness.
We continue to push the movie forward. Fortunately, we have been able to make great progress on the final bits despite current conditions. However, the finished film delivery date is still uncertain. My continued apologies!
However, I am focusing on getting all the other rewards out as soon as possible. (Currently getting the sizing and brand coordinated with the print shop for your t-shirts and hoodies!) I hope to send all the extra stuff as soon as I can and follow-up with the movie once that's done.
In the meantime, I found these original pics of the Zed Sculpture and wanted to share them with you.
One of the huge challenges with Zed's design was making him 100% a zombie but ALSO lovable. This close-up of his eyes shows how we tried to pack in the detail but still making him someone you could root for.
When you sculpt, you also have to pay careful attention to the casting process. In this shot, you can see we 'erased' the detail in Zed's teeth, smoothing them over with clay, so we could cast without the mold getting stuck on the sculpture.
I wanted to make it clear that Zed was bitten. So, in both the above and below shot, you can see the scrape marks from the bite wounds.
We had over 100 hours into the sculpt of Zed. I hope you like this little peak at the sculpture.
Thanks again for all your support!
Jesse
