WHY ZOMBIE TEMP AGENCY?

ZEITGEIST TIMING

Labor rights, temp work, and corporate dehumanization are front-page issues. ZTA is a zombie film with something to say — and audiences reward that.

PROVEN GENRE HYBRID

Zomedy (zombie + comedy) is a proven sub-genre. Shaun of the Dead grossed $30M on a $4M budget. ZTA follows the same blueprint.

TEXAS PRODUCTION VALUE

Shooting in Texas means lower crew rates, generous tax incentives, and a deep pool of experienced independent film talent — all of which stretch every dollar.

EXPERIENCED TEAM

The ZTA team has credits spanning Emmy Award-winning television, USC Cinema School, and multiple completed independent features. This is not a first-time crew.

BUILT-IN AUDIENCE

Horror fans are the most loyal genre audience in film. A zombie comedy with political bite has natural crossover appeal to comedy, drama, and social-issue audiences.

MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS

Box office is just the beginning. Streaming rights, VOD, DVD, merchandise, and festival licensing all contribute to investor returns on a completed independent film.
