Despite a number of problems plaguing the production, filming has finally wrapped on the teen zombie rom-com being made by a group of local youngsters during their summer holiday.

Student Ben Steele said, "It has been a fun three months, but a lot of hard work too.

"We've not had the easiest time of it - what with the original camera breaking down, some of our cast having to leave the production early, and the weather this summer has not been great, which delayed a lot of the outdoor shoots.

"Thankfully my mum and dad bought us a new camera, and we were offered locations in which to shoot the film by UCF, The Royal Cheriton pub and the Phoenix Railway Club in Dover. So despite all the problems we have got some great footage 'in the can', and we have got an offer from a professional musician to write the score, so I am looking forward to editing it."

Lily Jenkins from Cheriton added, "Once the film is completed we will need venues in which to show it.

"We are hoping to hold the premiere in The Quarterhouse in Folkestone towards the end of the year, but after that we want to show it in other towns.

"If there is anyone who can help us with distribution of the film, or some small independent cinemas or theatre spaces who will allow us to screen the film free of charge, we would be extremely grateful."

Anyone able to offer a venue for a screening or who can help with distribution should contact Ben on aworldcalledmymind@gmail.com [4]  or telephone 01304 332419.
