"Zombie Team Building" was produced with Inside Creative Minds for the 2010 Almost Famous 48 Hour Film Challenge. For the challenge, the theme we had to use was "a white lie", the prop was a mirror, and the line of dialogue was, "What just happened?" ZTB won First Place Comedy, 3rd Place Audience Award, Best Use of Theme, and an acting award for Craig Curtis.

We knew the limit on the running time for the challenge had to be a five minute movie. However, we elected (or maybe I did, and failed to mention this to anyone) to shoot a ten minute movie in the same time. It was ambitious, but since we were able to pull it off with "Masters of Daring," I knew we could do it again. For the challenge, we turned in a five minute version of "ZTB", and then later released the full ten minute version that most people everyone have seen since.

The story for "Zombie Team Building" is currently being developed into a feature length production by Squishy Studios. To expand the premise, the story begins on Day Three of Zombie Team Building, with a dozen participants all working (and feuding) together as they're put through ridiculous teamwork exercises. But when a horrible accident occurs and their base is overrun, the surviving members are forced to trek through the quarantined zombie town to reach safety.

An INSIDE CREATIVE MINDS Production. In Association with Squishy Studios.
