Cayman Islands Looking for Zombies
For $1,000, residents of the Cayman Islands have the chance to not only help get the country’s fledgling film industry but to be Zombies as well. The next movie about to be made in Cayman has a scary theme. Filming for Zombie Driftwood, a low budget b-movie set in the well-known North Side bar, starts shooting this month, and there is still time for would-be investors to get in on the act — literally.
The film makers are in need of both cash and zombies and have opted to tie the two together. 500 shares in the company are currently being offered to the wider public, which will include, among a number of things, the chance to feature as a zombie in the movie. Investors can also hope for a return on their money too, as there are lucrative opportunities with this genre of film in the DVD market.
Despite being about zombies, the film will be a very Caymanian affair with local production services being provided by film maker Beth Henning’s Caymana Production Services and the lead roles have gone to Cayman’s home grown actors, including Rita Estevanovich, Brian Braggs and Peter Costa with some of the islands’ unique characters also making cameo appearances.
As explained by CaymanNewsService, “With the local film business still in its infancy, Zombie Driftwood will provide a great boost to the industry and also showcase the diverse potential the islands have for providing cinematic backdrops. Given that zombies are more commonly found in places considerably less attractive than beautiful, sun-kissed Caribbean islands, the exotic location will provide an added attraction for zombie movie fans the world over and introduce Cayman to a completely new audience.”
