Lonely Heart
FADE IN:
EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT
A few STAGGERING FIGURES loiter. Any other time, they'd be drunks,
homeless. Today, it's the Walking Dead.
Bloody. Pale. Lumbering. GROANING.
One of the undead -- a TWENTY-SOMETHING with a gaping hole where his ribcage has split open -- gazes at a BEAUTIFUL LADY ZOMBIE nearby.
A name-tag pinned to his torn shirt tells us he is (or was) "JOE".
Lonely Heart was the first short film that informal drama team Good Shout (of which I am a founding member) created. It is a zom-rom-com (that's zombie romantic comedy) and was created for the London Screenwriters Festival 50 Kisses competition. The film was a winner and selected to be a part of the finished feature film. It has been screened in cinema's in the UK and internationally as well as a host of international festivals including the London Independent Film Festival 2014.
