Earlier this summer, the fabulous Mary Higgins, her husband, and her children embarked on the kind of epic project that puts quality time in the annals of awesome: they wrote, produced, and filmed a zombie period piece as a webseries. Here, Mary talks about the concept for the series, the challenges of working with loved ones, and the advantages of removing everyone’s heads while filming.

How long have you know Cheeks? How did you meet him? I met Cheeks a while back – maybe two years ago. I found his material on YouTube and thought it was hilarious. I didn’t just admire the performance and the presence, but the writing, too; it blew me away. Strangely, though, my first thoughts were about [...]

“Just like on broadcast TV, you just have to write like a sane person – don’t write stuff you can’t afford. That only got easier when the money was mine!”

To me one of the best things about anime “celebrities” – voice actors, directors, producers, artists – is that they are so accessible to the fans. They participate in conventions, hosting panels about themselves as well as anime related topics. They sign autographs without charging fees, they take part in silly activities, and they don’t treat convention goers like idiots (even if they are wearing cardboard clouds, sparkles, a sign that says “Free Hugs” and not much else). Anime celebrities are real, down-to-earth people who we can relate to and like, even in real life. And one of the most down-to-earth of all is Wendy Powell, she of the deep voice and southern drawl, that hails from Texas and provided the voice of Envy from both popular Fullmetal Alchemist series.

Here’s the thing, Michele. No one is going to blame me for ripping out my neighbor’s liver and making fois gras with it. My neighbor is a racist anti-Semite who puts her garbage out on the wrong day, anyway. But you, Michele. People might think you’re racist because of this pledge. And that’s way worse.

You’re being awarded with the elite status of Honorary Zombie.
You’re already a figurative zombie, a soulless shambling shell of a man, feeding an insatiable hunger for attention and washing it down with a mimosa mixed from Democratic tears. I literally am a festering sack of rotting humanity and you make me throw up a little in my mouth.

A couple in bunny suits are employed as “comfort strangers” to the city at large. Government agents who are walking contagions in an effort to mass-immunize the population. Humans who are born without the ability to delineate time.
This is the low-fi sci-fi world of director/screenwriter Mia Trachinger.

Certainly, Mr. Rohrabacher, you could have had an intern Google this for you. I’m a zombie, and even I have an intern. He’s an MBA from Colgate. I’m quite looking forward to eating him later, unless he can find some tossed out Boar’s Head cold cuts in our immediate vicinity.

When you look at the Appetites app, it looks less like something out of Star Trek, and more like something out of Harry Potter. I imagine that the pages of Hagrid’s cookbooks have a similar aesthetic; however, I’m sure Appetites could have made his treacle fudge, rock cakes, and bath buns slightly more edible.

It is 3am and the room is full of people laughing hysterically as they watch Commander Riker and Jesus Christ act out some outrageously bad “A-Team” based erotic fanfiction. We’ve been in our seats for over two hours, we’ve heard about Harry Potter going on a heavy-metal inspired trip through the cosmos, we’ve witnessed the S&M inspired downfall of the Care Bears and we aren’t done yet.

I forever have associated Starfest with the idea that there was someplace you could go and get your geek on with your fellow geeks and no one, absolutely no one, would think you were out of place at all.

When I sit on the subway, there’s not the majority of any race. This is a town where it’s not about segregation. Yet our entertainment is so often, ‘Here’s the white show; here’s the black show.’ With us that’s not how we take in our lives, so why are we presenting [that] on stage? So for Vampire Cowboys, [it’s] very much like, “this is who we are and we want to make sure that it’s inclusive to everyone; that everyone feels like they have a hero.”

Lately things have been getting pretty sci-fi, with legislation that, knowingly or not, invokes stuff like The Handmaid’s Tale, A Boy and His Dog, and The Time Machine (possibly even They Live, because you just can’t be sure).
