[Short Film] Watch the International Film Festival Hit ‘Year Zero’!
Having made the festival rounds this year (Tribeca, 24FPS, New York International Latino, Anchorage International), Bloody Disgusting is excited to share with you an exclusive look at Richard Cunningham III’s full-length short film Year Zero. Cunningham III directed, wrote, produced, composed, starred in, and even animated the short that features the voices of Pat Rigby, Tim Brennan, Marie-Pierre Beausejour and Bridget Carroll.
“While NYC burns outside, a loner remains trapped in his apartment no less by fear of the Apocalypse, than by the two zombies pounding at his door.
After he exhausts his food rations and nearly dies, he must soon decide to confront the horrors of a world void of humanity, or stick with his plan to wait for military rescue.”
A feature script is in the works taking place in the streets of NYC, after the events of the short.

A hospital stay grows more nerve-frazzling when memory loss distorts reality in our exclusive clip from This Tempting Madness, inspired by a true story.
The mind-bending psychological thriller will be released in select theaters and on demand on June 12 via Vertical.

In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
