Liam Makrogiannis has written and directed a zombie movie called Survive. Why is that a big deal? Well this New Yorker is following in the footsteps of a certain Emily Hagins who you may remember that directed her first zombie film Pathogen at age 12. While Liam has a full year on her that means he’s making the film at the ripe ‘old’ age of 13 and any one who is passionate enough at 13 to want to make a movie (to follow in his dad’s footsteps of all things!) is awesome in my book.
His father, Evan Makrogiannis, is the man behing The Super and The Turnpike Killer is producing the film. Seriously how proud of a father does he have to be? His view on the subject in an interview in Fangoria?
“I will be serving as Liam’s mentor through the process, but this is his deal and I respect that.”
So what’s the movie about?
Environmental terrorists poison the New York City water supply, and the result is ‘the contaminated’: people who died from the poisoning only to become reanimated dead flesh, seething for fresh human blood. Two boys separated from their school trip in NYC on the day of the contamination outbreak are forced to run, hide and survive for two weeks until they are saved by a military man [Moye]. The trio seek refuge in a house filled with a host of survivors; as they lack food, water and supplies, tempers rise and the tension grows thick, and the survivors are left to wonder if their supposed safe haven is more dangerous than the zombie-ridden streets. The story progresses with betrayals, heroism, acts of brutality, cannibalism, desperation and hope.â€
The film is currently taking funds on IndieGoGo.
