ZP International Motion Pictures

Richmond, KY, December 21, 2009: ZP International Motion Pictures announced that they will begin shooting their new feature film, Santa Claus vs. The Zombies, in early January. Principal photography will continue through March of 2010.

The new feature promises to be a light-hearted family friendly film. The original screenplay by George Bonilla is based on a concept by Jet Rosas and Strange Holiday Comics. Bonilla is also slated to direct the feature.

“This is an ambitious project,” said Bonilla, “But, as we have proven in the past, our team has the talent and tenacity to tackle this film head-on. Story development and pre-production has gone well thus far and we are quickly moving towards full-production.”

This will be the eighth feature, but the first family/comedy film, for the Independent film company based in the greater Lexington, KY metro area. The company’s other projects include Hell-ephone, Monstrosity, Dance With a Vampire, Zombie Planet: The Kane Chronicles, and the award-winning feature The Edison Death Machine. In 2008, George Bonilla was named ‘Kentucky Filmmaker of the Year.’

“I’m really looking forward to getting back on the set,” added Bonilla, “We’ve been out on the road promoting Hell-ephone, and we’ve spent quite a bit of time in pre-production for Santa Claus vs. the Zombies, but making films is what we do best and I’m truly excited to get back in the director’s chair and bring this project to life.”

Producers on the project include Tammy Bonilla, Todd Burrows, Douglas Campbell, and Russell Coy. The film is scheduled to be released during the 2010 Holiday season.

Artist Billy Tackett and his wife, Heather, are sponsoring a charity event called Who ARTED? A TWISTED Art Sale & Exhibit.

For Who ARTED?, the Tacketts put out a call to artists and asked some of their friends to donate a piece for the auction. All artists were given an old 33 rpm LP to create their masterpiece with. Some have used it as a canvas, some have made sculptures and some have-er, well, you just have to see for yourself!

ZP International is proud to announce that Echelon Entertainment has completed a deal to make ZP International’s “THE EDISON DEATH MACHINE” available in China.

This deal makes the award-winning 2007 release available in the most populous country in the world.

THE EDISON DEATH MACHINE follows the exploits of a gang of master theives who aquire Thomas Edison’s lost invention that can communicate with the dead. The film was honored with “Best Science Fiction Feature” and ‘Best Special Effects” awards during its festival run.

“This is an exciting opportunity to bring our film to the Far East,” said George Bonilla, “And I’m looking forward to see how the fine citizens of China enjoy THE EDISON DEATH MACHINE. We are very proud of this film and we are looking forward to more international distribution through Echelon Entertainment.”
