Dear Friends,

I’m very excited to announce that at long last, AMERICAN ZOMBIE, a film that I directed and co-wrote, will be opening at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles on March 28! We are working with the distributor to make sure we get people into the theaters, particularly on the opening weekend, as that is the key to expanding to other theaters. We’re planning on Q&As with cast and crew, giveaways, an zombie art show opening at Scoops Ice Cream gallery in East Hollywood and more.

I know several of you have already seen the film, but if you could help me get the word out to people whom you think might enjoy it, I’d really appreciate it. Or, come see it again at the Sunset 5! We’d love to have you. There is also a coupon for discounted tickets on opening weekend (attached below).

Thanks again, and hope to see you at the movie!

Grace

“Sharply funny and a winner all the way, Lee not only pokes fun of L.A., subcultures and the documentary form, but also herself.”
- G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

“But the mere fact that Lee can make both a media satire and, in the end, a creepy horror flick, while at least alluding to bigger social issues, suggests the breadth of her wit and intelligence.”
- Andrew O’Hehir, salon.com

“…a clever and tightly woven tale of a filmmaker a little too deep into the lives of her subjects.”

-Aint-it-Cool News

“American Zombie is the must-see zombie movie of the year.”
- ZombieReportingCenter.com

“Very clever, inventive and creepy”
- angryasianman.com

“American Zombie is most definitely an original work of documentary/fiction/comedy/horror.”
- Toby Roberts, CinemActivist.com

Filmmakers Grace Lee (”The Grace Lee Project”) and John Solomon (”Nonsense Man”) team up to shoot a documentary about high-functioning zombies living in Los Angeles and their struggles to gain acceptance in human society.

Despite their wildly different working styles, Grace and John manage to chronicle the hopes and dreams of four fascinating subjects: IVAN, a convenience-store clerk who longs for a career in publishing; LISA, a florist trying to recover her lost memories; JUDY, a hopeless romantic who learns to accept her true nature; and JOEL, a committed political activist striving for zombie rights. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies “on their own terms,” John is eager to uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the documentary takes an unexpected – and dangerous – turn. What transpires there is beyond anything the filmmakers could imagine, as they are forced to re-evaluate their ideas about tolerance, identity politics and the future of the human race.
