Declaration
film director
“As a filmmaker my passion has always been in making smart genre films, with a particularly morbid fascination with zombies. It is a genre that can, at its best, brilliantly reflect contemporary issues. Once I started thinking about what would happen if there were a cure to such a zombie infection, I couldn’t stop. What does it mean to be an ex-zombie? The idea of the cured being haunted with the memories of what they did while infected was terrifying and, above all, heartbreaking. The thought kept swirling in my mind: would their families accept them? Can you ever truly become human again?”
