Presumably some threshold must have been crossed in the arcane IMDb processes, but sometime last night our Zombie Resurrection entry into the Internet Movie Database suddenly
appeared. Twice, actually. No warning, no information, nothing. One day we were
considered to be a high completion risk, and the next we’re all buddies again.
It might have had something to do with the recent round of
festival submissions - the screener submission website WithoutABox is part of
the same organisation that’s responsible for IMDb. Although the database rules
state that you must have a verifiable premiere date before you can go up, it
looks like the $55 entrance fee was enough to buy us a bit of latitude (unless
the festival have good news that they’ve failed to share with us).
And so there we are. A complete list of all our cast, crew
and zombies, for all to enjoy.
It has taken a good couple of weeks to tidy the entry up
into something that almost looks sensible, with every change request taking a
reported 7-10 days to be processed. There are still spelling mistakes on a
couple of horde members’ names in the pipeline, and a few job titles that
needed fixing, but it’s close enough.
But something that we can’t seem to fix is the awful
synopsis, and a really strange tagline that must have been written on the spot
by the festival organiser. In the place where the pithy 'prey for
salvation' should be sits the slightly less manageable 'a zombie messiah that
can raise the undead from the dead...after they've died...again'.
So we continue to plug away, to trim and manicure. And
hopefully by the time that anyone can actually go and buy the movie it’ll be
coiffured to perfection. Although, if anybody knows the IMDb administration
password, we could cut out a lot of faffing.
Go take a
gander, and we’ll see you again in 7-10 days. Immaculate.
