"Zombie" digs for loverly hand

Death looms for prolific independent horror filmmaker Brett Kelly's indiegogo.com campaign to raise funds for his local production company's latest big scream project, My Fair Zombie.


Slated to feature Sacha Gabriel as Eliza and Lawrence Evenchick as Henry Higgins, My Fair Zombie is clearly inspired by the same source as was eight-time Oscar winning 1964 musical My Fair Lady starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison that first appeared as a stage play on Broadway featuring Julie Andrews and Harrison in 1956: George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion.

According to myfairzombiemovie.com/ "MY FAIR ZOMBIE will be the biggest independent film to ever hit the City of Ottawa. Featuring songs, comedy, period costumes, blood and guts and a cast of over 100 Ottawa actors including background performers, (MY FAIR ZOMBIE) is going to knock the masses for a loop!"

The story involves the attempt by a professor of phonetics to teach a zombie woman to be a proper English Lady.

Checking the San Francisco-based fundraising site's page for this newest Capital gorefest (http://www.indiegogo.com/MY-FAIR-ZOMBIE), the goal is to raise a meaty $5000 by Mar. 9, 2012. To date, Kelly has dug up $1104 from fans and supporters through that website.  Indiegogo's fee is 4%, taken from the total funds donated once the dire deadline comes.

Contribution perks range from the $20 USD "Brain Muncher" that gets you a DVD of Kelly's first movie The Feral Man, the "Zombie Squad" grab bag of his movies for a $100 USD donation, to garnering an associate producer credit for coughing up a grand in cold US currency as "Zombie King or Queen".

Thanks for checking in.
