Director Statement

This is a comedy horror short. It's a parody of traditional zombie movies. Instead of zombies, in this short there are Karens. A Karen is a popular meme referring to an entitled White woman. This short was originally released as ten separate one minute episode on TikTok. That's why the aspect ratio is vertical and why it feels like ten separate segments.
