The shoots will be taking place in Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and downtown Detroit during May-June. We really want to pay you something for your time, and will be offering $50 a day. We are working on fundraisers to get these monies, but as of right now we don’t have a budget, please keep this in mind. Should only be about 3 days of shooting, happening this spring. There will of course be food, beer, and copies of work provided. We could even take some headshots of you as a trade. Should be a really fun project, with some ridiculous content!

We are also looking for more people interested in doing the kind of make-up and special effects required to do this kind of project. If you or anyone you know is into creating gore effects and might be interested in helping out on the project please send us an e-mail.

Those interested should reply back with information on experience, and a photo to zombiemovie@cannibalmidgets.com
