Concept Idea

[MichaelM]

Comedy, Parody, Romantic, short
Think Shaun of the Dead.

A group of teenage friends go to watch a film. Suddenly, "we interrupt this programme to bring you breaking news" "STAY IN YOUR HOME". There has been a zombie apocalypse
So, for once in a zombie film, the friends do just that.

They sit and wait, making conversation.
The film is a short about the troubles they face, the television that's broadcast and (primarily) the discussions they have.
The protagonist also ends up kissing the girl, there is a beat of romance and then a SLAP.

What do you think? Is it worth writing and would anyone like to help with long-distance directing?

I also need a title, so if anyone has any ideas....

remove the unnecessary romance and I think it's good. Shaun of the Dead's romance subplot felt unnecessary, so this one seems the same.

Sounds interesting. You ought to just call it "STAY IN YOUR HOME."

Have you seen Him & Her?

It makes makes me think of that.

If there was a zombie apocalypse, nothing would change because they're so lazy, and they and the camera never leave the bedroom anyway.

Sounds like a cross between Matinee, Night of the Living Dead, and either MST3K or Rifftrax. Could be great.
