While it is only a short film, "See The Dead" is a triumph. It is professionally produced, well written, masterfully directed, and the acting is excellent. No, I am not a member of the cast or crew, just a very impressed viewer who was surprised by how well this short film worked. It's refreshing to see that independent filmmakers in the Southeast can produce something of such quality on such a small budget and still bring their own take on the "ol' zombie tale". So props to the cast and crew for delivering such an awesome short.
I guess I wasn't really expecting much when I first took the time to view this short, but I knew that it starred Vanelle (awesome) and was directed by Robert Filion, who has made a name for himself in the indie scene in the Carolina's. This isn't yet another corny, unprofessional, and shoddy looking backyard zombie flick thrown together by a bunch of yahoo's with their moms video camera. This is top notch film-making by passionate people who had a vision and a story to tell. Makes me excited to see what else I'll be seeing from these guys and girls next.
