UNIVERSAL DEAD
DB Sweeney (HEAR NO EVIL, SPAWN), Gary Graham (ROBOT JOX, ALIEN NATION [TV], NECRONOMICON) and sci-fi Horror Thriller fan favorite Doug Jones (DOOM, HELLBOY [all], PAN'S LABYRINTH, QUARANTINE) have joined the cast of UNIVERSAL DEAD, a new web series from San Diego based Unconventional Films. The series also stars four former US Navy SEALs (including Cade Courtley, host of Spike TV’s hit show Surviving Disaster) and the lovely Valerie Perez (star of the online hit “Paula Peril”). Universal Dead takes place five years after a zombie apocalypse in a world that’s just barely hanging on. A group of Navy SEALs escort a doctor from the Center for Disease Control on a mission to investigate a possible cure for the zombie plague.
“The idea of using real Navy SEALs in this series came to us during the writing process,” says Unconventional Films co-owner and series producer, Neil Trusso, who is also a former Navy SEAL. “Why not get the real deal and make the action even more authentic?” The web series was created by Unconventional Films co-owners Vernon Mortensen, a former US Navy SWCC and feoamante alumni, Kelly Parks, the world’s only Ex-CIA/Rocket Scientist/Stand-up Comic/Screenwriter.
E.C.McMullen Jr. (PRIMITIVE RECALL), creator of feoamante.com, is onboard as Art Director and SFX Supervisor.
Unconventional Films has 10 web series in development and is the “new media” arm of indie production / distribution company, Rogue Arts. Rogue Art’s latest feature film, Chamaco, a Mexican boxing drama starring Martin Sheen, Michael Madsen and Kirk Harris, hits theaters soon.
Once the pilot episodes of Universal Dead are completed, Unconventional Films will screen them for all interested distributors.
