Wow, fantastic work here! This doesn't rely on gory visuals to pad the plot; it's pure acting, realistic scripting, and a determined young man finding his soul again in his final hours. A hero for our generation: the burnt-out wage worker, who throws the corporation to the wind and stands his ground for what is right.

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Thanks Scott, hearing you call him a hero for our generation means the world. Love your interpretation of the protagonist, too! I was possessed to write a lead that embodied my frustrations with the world's cold reaction to the mass deaths of COVID-19, and I think the actor nailed the performance!

[@iSuRRendeReDuK]

Did he get the employee of the month award...? Keep em coming 10/10

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Employee of the Dead - Coming Soon(?) 🤣🤘

[@fredericbrasseur7399]

"She is threatening to leave a negative review!" Haha

[@yukita79]

Romero road..i love this!!! And the acting...i could feel the zombies even without the visualization...thank u for this work!!

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Thank YOU for checking it out! 🖤

[@MercyForTheInnocent]

I said the same haha I love when zombie movies reference each other

[@garicrewsen1128]

Not only was suspension of disbelief effortless, I "saw" everything Lucy went through. Masterful piece of work here. Break A Leg!!

[@Gojira_Sama]

Keep up the great work! It's bound to get picked up when the right people see it. It's a great take on the zombie genre

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Thanks so much Matthew! Got a tonne of ideas for the concept, would love to explore it further

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Thanks to everyone for all of the amazing and productive feedback. It's been an awesome journey and I can't wait to see where we can take the concept next. Like and subscribe to find out!🤘📽🖤 UPDATE: Wow 100K views?! You guys rule

[@burniezarsoff4118]

Fantastic short film! Well done.👏 I hope the right people see this and fund your next project. I'm sure that you could create something even more amazing if given a bigger budget to work with. Keep up the great work.👍

[@garicrewsen1128]

War of the Worlds? But definitely title it with some "found" audio hook. Still probably too soon, but...

[@dmmice2344]

This was so good I thought it was an ALTER film. No joke. Awesome film!

[@garzaclaytoncg]

This was so well done, I've seen so many zombie flicks and this short one was pretty damn well better then most of those full length ones, I felt the emotion, the frustration, it was so dark, yet a glimmer of light.. it just goes to show that no matter how far gone things may seem, or when the ship truly hits the fan, you can always do something to make a difference. Also wanted to ask what happened in the ending when he turned and answered the next call, I couldn't quite make out what was being said but heard a zombie shortly after.

[@erikwobst1831]

Really really nice work! Been a Customer Service Agent myself....it's a hard job,when you're dealing with normal people...but this would be hell indeed^^

[@Jody-dm2mf]

Was going on a zombie short film marathon and this was one of the most memorable ones. It showed humanity in it's most heroic to help another. I consider that guy a real hero. The question is would this character have shown as much commitment if it wasn't his condition that may have influenced him. At first when he said jump Lucy. I thought he was trying to get her to end her life or something. It was a good drama scenario.

[@FearMechanism]

Excited to see the full film released, was worth the wait. 🤩

[@splintorium]

Have nothing else to say but GREAT, simply great. A very reliable story told in a perfect way

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Grazie Matteo!

[@splintorium]

@@harrypages-filmmaker6003 My pleasure :)

[@JHjh88]

This was absolutely amazing. Heartbreaking. I wanted (as I'm sure most did), for Neville to survive). Better than most full length films. 🖤 From Australia

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

This was one of the nicest things I could have read today - thankyou, Jessica!

[@JHjh88]

@@harrypages-filmmaker6003 Thanking you! Instantly subbed. Honestly this was so moving. To pull this off with 1 visible actor & the other protagonist's voice (+soldiers at outpost), off camera, was brilliant. I appreciate your commitment. 🙂🎬

[@abdullahp7986]

This is so well done and i almost never watch short films ,but this takes the cake

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Glad you checked ours out then! Means a lot, thankyou

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

BRAVO! Mr.Pages! And Mr. Bence, Stunning performance, I was on the edge of my seat, hair on the back of my neck standing straight up at the finish. Left me wanting more. Thanks to you all for this amazing creation. Peace.

[@RavenTBS]

This was bloody Amazing! Best Zombie short I’ve seen since Isolated.

[@chucksellers8422]

Awesome Movie. You couldn't see what was happening to Lucy, but a picture was painted through good storytelling and acting. The customer review part made me laugh. That sounded like a little social commentary on the growing selfish inhumanity of people today.

[@CosmopolitanFools]

In this world, the Zombie epidemic has been established, even commercialized & integrated into bureaucratic + corporate strata. It is essential to remember this ~ that & there being a nobody with a 'dead-end' job. The only other hint is a hand-drawn picture: "Super Me". A tense film, drama with suspenseful moments, & a glimpse of a world turning undead while civilization's humanity erodes. Bravo, Mr. Pages.

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

What a great comment! Thanks for the support Valentyn :D

[@ttvgoober3367]

This deserves way more views than it currently has, A+ work! Acting is phenomenal, and the concept is entirely original and very grounding in a way!

[@AussieLadyTreasures]

Really good. I think you deserve more likes. Love the change in the main character.

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

This has genuinely made my day Theresa, thankyou 🖤

[@christelletremaine8900]

I love the details with the pictures in the book of different ways to kill zombies. the bite on his hand looks awesome and loved the "threatening to leave a bad review" LOL!

[@vincent52542]

this was very good im glad she made it out at the end but to bad he turned at the end. i loved this thanks for posting

[@Dewi.D.A]

I love this,,, joe bence is a great actor ❤

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

I agree!

[@unexplainedoccurrences]

Great film, well done. This is single location work at its best, really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.

[@jamesm1249]

Awesome! I have seen a lot of zombie "stuff" and this was just wonderful. Survival Services and Operators, a rating system with stars :) just grand. Thanks for the short it was great.

[@tkell31]

Great job with minimal resources. told a very effective story. Letting people use their imagination is highly underrated.

[@kamilslaby_]

My man Joe Hodgin always delivers great music!

[@myangelsiyeon5540]

Brilliant from beginning to end you could really feel for Lucy and that a small bond between two strangers is so gripping wonderful job, and Romero road, lol, kudos!!!!

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Thankyou!

[@BwaKay3]

Really LOVE zombie films, especially these short films. 🎥 They are usually better than the actual longer films 😊

[@harrypages-filmmaker6003]

Glad you like them!

[@scottmandel9130]

Very well done, would like to have seen more outside scenes too with switching back to where the young woman was with her mom etc..., Cant wait to see much more.
