The Final Project

Catherine, Emily, and Max need to come up with an idea for their final film. Suddenly, like a twisted miracle, they find themselves in the middle of a spitting zombie apocalypse. This gives them the bright idea to make their film a documentary about the spitting zombies, or as they call them, droolers.

Director Statement

The Final Project is a film that I make to look back and reflect on my time as a senior. I graduated high school during the pandemic. Having to spend my definitive years during a lockdown is definitely difficult, but now I am a senior in college. The theme of this film is perseverance. No matter what obstacles we face, we can power through it. We survived the pandemic. We can take on anything.
