About the Movie
Who cares about crime when your neighbors want to eat your face? We do. That’s who.
Business is lousy for detectives Harry Pants and Joe. What do you expect during the zombie apocalypse? But when a scientist on the verge of discovering a cure for the zombie plague is murdered and fails to rise from the dead, the detectives must solve the case and save the world.
Will they succeed or join the hordes of zombies themselves?
Inspired by classic noir and zombie thrillers like The Maltese Falcon and The Night of the Living Dead, Murder by Zombie is a fun and exciting movie sure to keep you and your friends entertained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to memorize my part? Where is my script?
Movies are filmed in short takes, so you don’t need to memorize your part in advance. Scripts will be provided the day of the event and will be collected at the end.
What is the Rating of the movie?
Most LET’S MAKE A MOVIE! productions are appropriate for all ages. Any exceptions will be noted in your invitation.
What if I’m not a very good actor or have no acting experience?
No experience or acting ability is required! None of the actors are professionals, and no one expects you to be perfect. Just come and have a great time!
What Should I wear?
Check out the costume suggestions on the character page, or create one of your own. Costumes will not be provided.
What about makeup?
Most roles do not require makeup, however, you are welcome to wear some. In some cases, like for zombies, you can do your own or basic stage makeup will be provided on set.
WIll I have to do my own stunts?
Yes! Stunts are a ton of fun and one of the best parts of filming a movie. For safety reasons, there are very few stunts in LET’S MAKE A MOVIE! productions. Most involve running, falling down, or bumping into things.
What if I can’t make it on time?
Filming schedules are very tight and require active participation throughout. Please discuss any possible conflicts with your host and event planner to determine if accommodations can be made in the case of your event.

Check with the event host or planners for details about how long your specific event will take.
