My music for NOT a Zombie Movie is a heavily electronic score inspired by everything from early video game soundtracks to Fight Club to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Chaos unfolds in the film as Wyatt, a stoic ex-pot dealer, is forced to shelter with Henry, Hollywood's next idol, and Josh, the sketchy pizza delivery guy, in the wake of the zombie apocalypse.
When her humanized version of Anxiety invites her crush over behind her back, a young girl decides to trap her true emotions inside, causing chaos inside and outside her mind.
A raw and lively look at a seven-piece Irish band keeping tradition alive through spirited drinking songs, fast-paced reels, and timeless jigs.
