BUNKER OF BLOOD takes place in an underground military bunker following an all out nuclear attack. The President and his advisers are holed up in the bunker with members of the military when bizarre murders begin taking place. With no way in and no way out, the killer must be in the bunker. Everyone is suspect and soldiers begin turning on one another. Has the enemy penetrated the bunker, or is there a more sinister motive going on.

The film is the eleventh feature from Richmond, KY based ZP International Studios. Written and directed by George Bonilla, the film promises action, scares, gore and plot twists that will keep you guessing.

BUNKER OF BLOOD stars Jeffrey Wayne Smith, Russ Croley, Stacey T. Gillespie, Adam Fair, Allison Smith, Frank Santoroski, Scott Johnson, and Billy W. Blackwell. Producers on the project include Tammy Bonilla, David Sowder and Todd Burrows.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to be among the first to see the latest offering from George Bonilla and ZP International.

ZP International’s Marketing and Media Relations Manager, Frank Santoroski, will make his debut as a writer/director with the upcoming film, THE RETURN.

The film, which is currently in production at ZP International Studios in Berea, KY tells the story of Professor George Taylor, a former archaeologist who has become one of the leading Ancient Astronaut Theorists. Taylor is out on the road promoting his latest book when he is abducted by Aliens who proceed to validate some of his theories and shed some interesting light on history and religion.

”THE RETURN has been a pet project of mine for quite some time,” said Santoroski, ”I have always been a strong proponent of Ancient Astronaut Theory, and I feel that I have put together an interesting story for believers and non-believers alike. When we made the decision to co-op the Studio, I felt the time was right to get this film made and take the next logical step in my career in film.”

While the bulk of the film is being shot at ZP International Studios, there is a location shot planned to be shot at THE SCAREFEST in Lexington, KY this coming September. Stay tuned for more details.

Frank Santoroski joined ZP International in 2005 as a web designer, and soon after took on the responsibilities of Media Relations and Marketing. In addition to the work done behind the scenes, Santoroski is also an experienced actor having performed in THE EDISON DEATH MACHINE, MONSTROSITY, HELL-EPHONE, SANTA CLAUS VERSUS THE ZOMBIES, and the soon to be released BUNKER OF BLOOD.

On THE RETURN, Santoroski will once again split his time behind and in front of the camera as he takes on the role of Professor Taylor. The film also stars Tony Armstrong, Schaeffer Tolliver, and Jeffrey Wayne Smith.

Producers on the project include George Bonilla, Todd Burrows, David Sowder and Brian Austin. Gregory W. Brock, Stacey T. Gillespie and Jodh McMaine are cinematographers. Lisa Kirby is lending her talent as make-up artist with Willie Johnson handling audio. John Coffey and David Lemione are also part of the production team.

With BUNKER OF BLOOD set to wrap, Bonilla and the ZP International staff will move directly into a new project, titled SURVIVING THE ZOMBIE PLAGUE.

Bonilla and company will join forces with actor/martial artist David Fultz in this fun mockumentary-style film. done in the style of a cold-war era Government Instructional Film, Bonilla is allowing various ZP staffers to write their own segment for the film.

“This will be a lot of fun,” said Bonilla. “David Fultz brings a lot to the table, and I’m very interested to see some of the ideas that our crew has put together.”
