British filmmaker Marc Price of Nowhere Fast Productions has suddenly been attracting quite a lot of attention with his new, low-cost zombie drama Colin (see previous story here). Fango spoke to the writer/director last year about the making of his undead opus, while he was in the midst of postproduction; those comments follow below.
Colin, lensed in and around London and starring Alastair Kirton, Kate Alderman, Tat Whalley and Daisy Aitkens, focuses on the title character, who is bitten by a zombie and returns from the dead. He then makes his way though a suburban landscape in the midst of an undead plague, as the storyline balances the expected mayhem with an examination of who Colin was when he was alive.
“We started shooting in August 2007,” Price tells Fango, “and the first sequence shot was one in which over 40 zombies, packed into a house, are attacking the survivors of a documentary film crew.

WASHINGTON -- Verizon thinks that deploying "hyper-local" programming will set its own local channel FiOS1 apart from traditional rivals in cable and broadcast TV.
The channel is the first of a series in major markets on which the phone company is attempting to develop its own programming. Verizon executives plan to focus on hometown traffic, weather and sports that are ignored by most outlets, as well as on attracting programming from viewers.
"Viewers will find the local information and feature stories that matter most to them on FiOS1," FiOS1 executive producer Michelle Webb.
The company already has deals to televise the games of Georgetown University and George Mason University and the Northern Virginia high-school football and baseball association members. Both universities have a significant number of high-income local alumni. The Washington suburbs that make up Northern Virginia are among the most prosperous in the region.
Whether Verizon's strategy is successful will depend on a number of often conflicting factors.
