2:20  Zombie Map - Aaron Falvey: Well if you thought you'd seen the last of the Zombie movie genre. think again.. the undead are still reanimating our screens...and thanks to a new app called 'Zombie Map'.. Kiwi filmmakers are getting the oportunity to showcase their own zombie movies to the world...
Aaron Falvey has just spent the weekend shooting a five minute zombie film for the app and the project has taken him just two weeks to get off the ground..
The self taught auteur made the movie for a few hundred dollars.. a lot of generosity from the Blenheim community... quite a bit of hard work from the cast and crew .. and a whole lot of pizza.
