We need people to play zombies. We're meeting at 1027 S. Rembert (the corner of Walker and Rembert) in Cooper-Young at 10am on saturday morning to get people in makeup, then we will drive to Hernando MS for the shoot (30 min drive).
The shoot will take several hours, so people would need to have the day free, but we will definately be done before dark. Anyone interested needs to wear the raggediest clothes they have, with no corporate logos or band names on them. These clothes will get messy with makeup and fake blood, so it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes for the ride home.
Any further questions, please call Christian @ 901-482-1153. Everyone who has participated has had a blast.
