Director Statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Killing Time is a love story set within a Zombie Apocalypse. It has zombies, but it’s not a zombie film. It’s a tragic love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The zombies represent all the things in life that take our attention away from the things that are the most important in life: relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film deals with themes of chances not taken, the fear of rejection being stronger than success, and sometimes it’s too late to make that move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want the audience to go on a journey with our protagonists. There’s a little action, carefree avoidance, until the reality of their situation sets in. The unspoken love they lust for is now lost forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Killing Time asks the audience if they are making the most of the time they have left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
PLAY MOVIE (please click here)<\/a><\/p>\n\nWhen a zombie apocalypse hits, Jessie and Mike finally confess their love, only for Jessie to be bitten while saving Mike’s life.<\/p>\n
