FAST ZOMBIES SUCK Status Update
FAST ZOMBIES SUCK is a short film based on my short story of the same name (which appears in this book). It is the inaugural movie from Drunken Tentacle Productions.
The film is directed by Jeff Heimbuch (The Ties That Bind, The Device) and stars Matthew Blazi (Land of the Dead, Survival of the Dead) and Karin Crighton (The Soldier Dreams, California Suite). Mike Antonio (They’ll Never Get Me, Elkton’s Undead) serves as Assistant Director and Dylan SC (The Stall, Long Pig) is the Director of Photography. Mike Lombardo (The Stall, Suburban Holocaust) delivers the special effects. The score is provided by Musician/Animator Dave Thomas (Railroad Tycoon 3, Hidden & Dangerous 2). Brian Keene 
(that’s me) is the Executive Producer.
We finished shooting the movie this past Sunday. (Some additional scenes needed to be filmed and unfortunately, because they were outdoor shots, we had to wait for the weather and seasons to be right again).
Over the next few months, part of the team will edit the film and begin scoring it. The other half of the team will begin combing through over 12 hours of B-reel footage, and compile it into about 3 hours of extras for the DVD.
We have a December 31st deadline to complete everything, and will send the DVD off to be 
manufactured the first week of January. If — IF — we finish post-production faster than that, we’ll release the DVD earlier, of course. But for now, it looks like an early 2014 DVD release. Thank you for your patience and support in this endeavor. We are confident it will be worth the wait.
In the meantime, we’d love if you’d “Like” Drunken Tentacle Productions on Facebook, and follow Drunken Tentacle Productions on Twitter. We’ll be posting more news at both in the months to come.
Finally, a special round of thanks to everyone who showed up to be an extra in the film. Yes, that was 
almost a year ago to the day, and yes, we made you stand out in the hot sun for hours, covered in fake blood, while you fended off attacks from killer bees. This would not have been possible without you and your enthusiasm, and we are all very grateful.
Below is a quick 32-second clip that I shot on my iPhone of Dylan, Mike L., and Matt during this past weekend’s re-shoots. In this scene, Matt’s character’s biggest fear has come to life. The zombie apocalypse is occurring, and he’s going to go deal with it in his panic-stricken state. Look for more official clips, teasers, and a trailer in the months to come.
