Your new movie Zombie Playground: Ice Scream - in a few
words, what is it about?
Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
is about two ladies that get lost in a
wood and stumble upon a very odd group of children that have survived
there for a long time. In the film you will find out why the children
survive and what fate awaits the ladies. Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
isn't your first zombie movie - so what keeps you coming back
to the genre, what makes this one stand out, and what were your
inspirations when writing the movie?
We have done a few
horror films in the last few years including Infected,
Extinction (segment
of Virus of The Dead), Precious (segment of Blaze of
Gory), to name a few
and we love horror so wanted to always bring something cool to the scream.
We believe that having a zombie film with over 30 children zombies will
bring something different to the horror fans. Since plenty of my
readers are gorehounds, you just have to talk about the bloody bits in
your movie for a bit, and how were they achieved? Well, we
love gore, and for Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
all I can say without giving too much
away is seeing the zombie children eating a human victims has to rate high
on the gore scale J So let’s hope the fans agree
J What
can you tell us about Zombie Playground: Ice Scream's overall
approach to horror (as in suspense vs sudden shocks, atmosphere vs all-out
gore and the like)? Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
has a bit of
everything, so without giving too much away we think horror fans will like
it and we intend to continue with the Zombie Playground franchise in the
future.

Do talk about your cast, and why
exactly these people? Cast is always important and we have
Jon Campling (from Harry Potter) [Jon
Campling interview - click here], Rosie Pearson (from Infected,
Crying Wolf), Megan Lockhurst (from Extinction, Essex Boys: Law of
Survival),
David Sellicks (from Crying Wolf, Demon Mist) and all of the cast were
amazing. We have worked with most of them in the past so we knew straight
away the roles would be suited for them. We spent time talking to a few
actors about the main role and when we talked to Jon we knew he was the
one and when he was on set the character he plays just came to life. The
kids were cast with the help of an agency and each one of them were
superstars for the day. What can you tell us about the
shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere? We shot Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
mainly over two days in July and had over 100 cast and crew on
set. Like every film set we all worked together as a team and everyone on
set had a great time as well so always a good atmosphere, even the
torrential rain didn’t dampen our spirits. We have to thank every single
person involved as it was simply an amazing team effort J The
$64-question of course, when and where will Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
be released?
Zombie Playground: Ice Scream
is due out for
release to the film festivals in January 2016, and we will be updating the
Facebook pages on which festivals it is being screened at to give everyone
a chance to see it on the big screen. Any future projects you'd like
to share? We are also working on two feature films, Torture
and Zombikini, so look out for more about those titles in 2016, plus we will
be doing a few more shorts as well. Your/your movie's website, Facebook, whatever
else?
