August 14, 2009 - SnagFilms announced the third featured film of SummerFest, “Zombie Girl”.
Emily Hagins is making a zombie movie. It’s feature-length, it’s bloody, and the zombies don’t run—just like it should be. But there’s just one difference between her film and every other zombie movie you’ve ever seen: Emily is twelve. ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE is the documentary that chronicles the making of her film.
Most twelve-year-olds are busy with friends, homework, and online chatting. So is Emily, but she’s also part of a new generation of teenagers raised on technology and expressing themselves through video. Only—she’s doing it on a feature-length scale!
With the help of her mother as agent, crew, and biggest fan, Emily launches an epic adventure in genre filmmaking, battling everything from budget shortfalls to self-doubt, all while coming of age as a teenager. Emily has the vision and her mom has the driver’s license. Together, their journey is a fascinating look at a growing world of young moviemakers and the bloodiest mother/daughter story you’ve ever seen.
The SnagFilms SummerFest is a ground-breaking online festival featuring limited-duration showings of unreleased documentaries, beginning with the U.S. premiere of THE ENTREPRENEUR, directed by Jonathan Bricklin and presented by Oscar®-nominated Morgan Spurlock, whose “Super Size Me” was SnagFilms’ most popular title in its launch year. Bill and Turner Ross’s film, 45365, was the Grand Jury Award Winner for Best Documentary Feature at this year’s acclaimed South By South West festival and followed as SnagFilms second SummerFest film.
Over the next several weeks, The SnagFilms SummerFest will continue with exclusive, one-week showings of documentaries that have not yet been distributed theatrically or on television. SnagFilms will make further announcements on its exclusive SummerFest sneak peek films in the weeks ahead.
