2006 Festival Winner "Last Rites of the Dead" coming to DVD re-titled "Zombies Anonymous"
Zombies Anonymous is group therapy for eternity
Tony Vandeveerdonk, Vice President of Sales & Operations for Well Go USA commented, We are very excited about the ZA - Zombies Anonymous DVD release. ZA is a very cool film with a unique storyline in the zombie movie genre. Zombie and monster themed movies are hot now in the box office and on DVD, and we think fans will much enjoy this new film.
Angela (Gina Ramsden) is shot point blank by her boyfriend Josh (Joshua Nelson) and lives in a world where the living and the dead co-exist, with people continuously finding ways to cope and look for answers. Zombie Anonymous meetings, look-alive face creams, and all meat diners help the mortally challenged find their way in this bizarre society. ZA takes you on an unforgettable ride where life meets death, or does it?
