Zombieland

I don’t know much about zombies. But I do know that they have just enough brain function to make asinine comments on Macon.com.

I also know that green isn’t just the color of dead, rotting flesh. Zombies are shuffling all the way to the bank. AMC’s The Walking Dead (filmed in Atlanta) is the most watched drama series among 18-49 adults in basic cable history and was just nominated for a Golden Globe award.

The dead have walked south and are strolling the streets of Macon. Followed directed by James Kicklighter began filming here this week. Followed is the story of a socially-responsible college professor whose perfect world is threatened by the appearance of a tag-along zombie child. As I write this The SoChi Gallery has been transformed into an upscale restaurant for a scene in the movie. Lights! Camera! Zombie Action!

Las Vegas Blvd has its share of the walking dead….a evidenced by all the ELVISes I saw while in Vegas last week. A group of us went to Vegas to represent the Macon Film Festival at the International Film Festival Summit. And…we ended up snagging the Best Program award. Thanks to the talents of local design firm Burt & Burt Designs & Stephanie Shadden.

The Macon Film Festival is February 17th – 20th, 2011. We are now looking for sponsors & advertisers. If you’re interested in appearing in our national award-winning program, shoot an email to: Terrell@TerrellSandefur.com
