A short film script I completed during my second year, focusing on the human elements of choice and collaboration in an apocalyptic scenario. Running at around eight pages, it's one of the shortest scripts I've written. It follows survivors Madison and Mike, who both view this new, dangerous world through different lenses. Madison is somebody who looks at any new allies as people to lose, whereas Mike views them as friends to keep close. In the zombie sub genre, I find the exploration of the human characters- and what keeps them human in such a horrific situation- the things most worthy of exploring, and the most interesting.
