Hey folks, Harry here! Ya know - there's projects that I personally care about, then there are personal projects that I CARE ABOUT. I've known Emily Hagins forever it seems - I remember when she used to do little LORD OF THE RINGS crayola murals and give them to me at Saturday Morning Kids Club - the film series for kids that I sponsor with BUTT-NUMB-A-THON.

She's been handing me DVDs for years now of her tiny short films, then one day - it was a feature length script to her Zombie movie, which I naturally figured would never come to pass... Then she asked me to record my Radio Announcer Voice Over... and I began hearing about various friends and relatives like my Sister and Nephew that had parts in this thing... Then I heard about her taking over schools and grocery stores... I remember her talking to me about the problems with reshoots - and how everyone changed their hair styles - so she had to basically start over. Then there was the editing, her stolen computer and on and on and on... But she got it done. She finished a feature length film - she had her premiere on the same screen that just played 300, BLACK SNAKE MOAN and ONCE UPON A GIRL.

Well - then she got reviews from "outside AICN" which rated it extremely high - and singled out my nephew for his brilliant demented zombie boy performance. The shocking thing is... the film works. The original music works, the scenes actually have a talented eye behind their composition... And the premise for how it all happens is actually original - and the gore is better than most amateur horror.

Is Emily resting on her laurels (write up in TEEN VOGUE, LA TIMES and an upcoming date with MTV)? No - she's just completed her second feature length script... it is a genre project, her Ghost Story. I haven't read it yet, but given everything I've seen Emily do, I'm sure it's quite a few steps more ambitious than her last project. But I can't wait to hear more about that - possibly at this DVD RELEASE PARTY she's having this:

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17th, 2006 at 4pm at Texas Union Theater on the University of Texas Campus.

She will not only have PATHOGEN for sale, but she will be screening it, some of the documentary on the making of PATHOGEN that was done by a pair of filmmakers that were fascinated in following the progress of the ZOMBIE GIRL and her project.

SO - if you're looking for something special for that ZOMBIE lover in your life - here's a great special treat for them. Something well off the radar of most film lover's lists.

Plus it features MASSAWYRM as the one responsible for the end of civilization! ANNETTE KELLERMAN as the scientist that developed the evil substance. And the feature film debut of KUBLAKHAN (my nephew) as a zombie boy. That's the AICN level of involvement - also look for SISTER SATAN and listen for my brilliant Wellesian Radio Voice!

But if you do make it to the DVD Release Party - I'll see ya there!
