| LOGLINE: Three Native American men discover they are somehow immune to a mysterious plague that is turning everyone else into zombies. SYNOPSIS: Dax Wildhorse knew this wasn’t going to be a good day. But it should have been. This was the day that he was driving his nephew, Eddie -- who he has raised -- off to college. Along with his brother -- Eddie’s estranged father, Ray -- the three of them pull into a Kansas rest stop, tired, hungry, lost. And that’s when it happens. With a gust of wind, everyone around them suddenly drops dead. But they are somehow immune to what’s killing everyone. Is it because of their Native American blood? Is it because their people were here in the beginning and this is now the end? But they don’t have time to ask questions. Stranded in the country, they encounter a strange survivor who blames everything on an alien invasion, and young Eddie becomes terribly ill. But that’s not the worst of their problems. As they take refuge in a remote school, the men encounter some weird people -- really, really weird. Almost zombie-like, even. As the modern-day warriors try to fight off the newly undead, they must put aside their differences to survive. Because Dax was right. No, this wasn’t a good day at all. But will there be another? ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE FILM: Shot over the course of four months in 2009 with an all local cast and crew in Wichita, KS, "The Dead Can't Dance" is the culmination of several years' hard work and the support of a film-loving community. In conjunction with the Tallgrass Film Association's Filmmaker Academy, and with the help of the Kansas Film Commission, the Independent School and other organizations, the production forged on despite minor setbacks and bad weather, ultimately using about 150 extras over numerous locations. But true to writer/director Rodrick Pocowatchit's DIY spirit and determination, the film finally completed production in late 2009. Post-production work was completed in April 2010. |
