Director Statement

“It has been a while since I last directed a movie but I still have so many ideas and plans for the big screen that I can’t get rid of except for shooting it. The Taxi Dead is an example for what can happen while you’re in your daily routine in the Bavarian backland. You will see zombies in Bavarian “Tracht” (clothing), a weird taxi driver and in fact some gore. You will hear an unofficial song by Nick McCarthy. I hope you enjoy this zombie road movie that was shot in my hometown Bad Aibling, Bavaria, Germany.” – Simon Lahm
