Image Entertainment Takes Up Residence In ZOMBIEWORLD

If you are a regular reader of Dread Central then you are aware the current project Zombieworld. The project is a zombie anthology film and is headed up by Ruthless Pictures and Dread Central. Until the end of May filmmakers are encouraged to submit their zombie short for consideration. And Image Entertainment announced today they will handle distribution of the film upon completion.

"We're eager to distribute this project because it embodies what independent filmmaking is all about: passion and creativity," said Ward.  "We're always looking for new talent and ZOMBIEWORLD takes storytelling to a new level that horror fans will not only enjoy, but also surely rally around and support."

The challenge of course is to find quality filmmaking and storytelling among the submissions. With no direct control over any of the submissions this is basically a free for all and Ruthless and Dread will have to find those diamonds in the rough. Then they will have to piece them all together to make an entertaining collection of stories. I do not envy those involved that task of choosing the right entries. 

ZOMBIEWORLD is a horror anthology focusing on survivors across the world as they struggle to overcome horrifying circumstances when a pandemic brings forth a zombie apocalypse. The collection of blood, guts and mayhem will be brought to life by a group of new and up-and-coming directors from around the world that Ruthless Pictures and Dread Central will handpick from short film entries received between April 21, 2014 and May 30, 2014 on Dread Central.com. The work of each chosen director will be featured in the film and will bring his or her take to a world now populated with flesh-eating corpses. Among the brilliant shorts to be included in ZOMBIEWORLD is Peter Horn and Jared Marshall's Dark Times, a blood-splattered scamper through the woods shot entirely in POV, where zombies, aliens and even Santa Claus make an appearance.
