Gangsters, Guns & Zombies

"Gangsters, Guns & Zombies" is a highly commercial, fast-paced 'GangsterZomCom' and we've managed to secure some great cast and crew for free just from the strength of the script alone (Huggy Leaver from 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' for example).

GGZ is our first feature film, and it's gonna be awesome. After a couple of successful self-funded shorts, we have decided to venture into features and we're now standing on the cusp of principal photography on a hope and a prayer.

We've already had help from some very unexpected quarters and we're being borne on the wings of some really good people and now we just need a way of getting these people to set and feeding them. If Sponsume and the wonderful people who use it can help us, that would be fabulous!

We're passionate about UK independent filmmaking - not the Working Title kind, but the kind where talented, enthusiastic and interesting people get together to make something out of nothing.  Most of the crew are industry professionals but because we don't have the right connections or rich enough friends, getting something like this off the ground requires a lot more blood, sweat, tears, tea, coffee and bacon sandwiches than usual.

Just because we're doing a super-micro budget feature film, doesn't mean we shouldn't look after our cast and crew.  In fact, because they're not getting paid and they're doing it for a project they believe could actually go somewhere, means they at least deserve some food!

Any money we raise will go towards feeding the cast and crew, so they can survive long enough to help us finish the film! It will also go towards our SFX budget, so our zombies kick the most brain-biting arse conceivable.

Basically, we need your help.

Film Synopsis

The whole “zombie thing” has been hyped up so much that everyone thinks
it’s the end of the world.

Of course, where one man sees the dead rising from the grave, another sees
opportunity. Q had a plan: drive the robbery getaway van, deliver everyone to
the safe house and get paid - a nice, simple, plan.

Unfortunately, life is never really that simple, and to top it all off, this is the first
time Q has been a getaway driver.

He’s coping pretty well though, what with the “zombie thing” going on and
considering; TONY (the guy who is ‘in charge’ of the job) is a murderous nut
case, DANNY was shot and is now bleeding all over the money in the back of the
van, the Sat-Nav has a mind of its own, there’s a guy in the back living up to his
name “CRAZY STEVE”, the safe-house already has police at it, and this whole
“zombie thing” seems to be quickly becoming more of a “zombie apocalypse
thing”.

Luckily, TONY knows of another Safe House on the coast. Not so luckily,
DANNY dies of natural-ish causes and then rises from the grave. Q and the
others have to deal with a recently zombie-fied medieval re-enactment group,
some Arsenal fans that seem hell bent on eating their brains and the van running
out of fuel.

In their search for refuge and some diesel, TONY spots a fortified cottage and
the group awkwardly team up with a lovely young woman called CASSIE and her
insane, but well armed GRANDMA. As TONY descends into deeper and deeper
psychosis, he forces a last stand against a zombie horde, dies horribly and takes
GRANDMA with him. Not bad for a night’s work.

Some men are born into shit-storms, some achieve shit-storms, and some have
shit-storms thrust upon them. Q is up to his neck in this one and must now take
charge of the group in order to save his own skin – not to mention the much more
attractive skin of CASSIE.

Finally reaching the coast, the new group must figure out a way off this crazy
island – lack of sailing know-how and the walking dead notwithstanding. Just
when things couldn’t get any worse, one of them suffers a terrible accident and
lands Q with a dilemma. In the one hand he holds his own life and in the other
the lives of the group. Who does he choose? Watch GANGSTERS, GUNS AND
ZOMBIES to find out!
