), alongside Australian actress Megan Peta Hill.

Written by RKSS based on Jerry Frissen and Guy Davis’ comic book series, the story plunges us into a town crawling with the living dead (albeit non-cannibalistic zombies) where three slackers in the market for easy money are forced to fight rednecks as well as an evil mega corporation in order to save their kidnapped grandmother…

Initiated, developed and produced by Gaël Nouaille, Laurent Baudens and Didar Domehri on behalf of Full House (the joint label of Borsalino Productions and Maneki Films), We Are Zombies is executively co-produced by Canada’s Christal Films. Also co-produced by Sparkling (Humanoïdes Associés’ production arm), We Are Zombies enjoys support from Eurimages, SODEC, Téléfilm Canada and the SOFICA companies Sofitvcine, Cofimage, La Banque Postale Image and Cofinova. International sales are steered by Kinology.
