Like many other days on the shooting schedule, “That’s a wrap!!” was exclaimed at the end of the day. But this time, the film was in the can.

ZP International’s latest feature film, Santa Claus Versus the Zombies, wrapped principal photography in mid-June and now is in the stages of post-production. The odyssey that was ‘Santa Claus Versus the Zombies” rolled off the first shots back in January and now has come to a close.

Music, digital effects, animation, and seemingly endless editing are now the task at hand for director George Bonilla and the post production staff of ZP International, Frozen Mercury Productions, TAG Studios and artist Billy Tackett. Crafting the hours of footage into a marketable Motion Picture will be the primary focus of the group for the time being. At the same time, Pre-production begins on the next project, Bunker of Blood.’

“What an amazing cast and crew!,” remarked Bonilla. “The footage looks great, and I just can’t say enough about the fine efforts of all that were associated with this film. We are hoping to have a festival edit ready by late July, and a version for distribution soon thereafter.”

One of the post-production goodies that Bonilla is most excited about is an animated opening sequence that will be put together by Florence, KY artist, Billy Tackett.

“I don’t want to give too much away,” said Bonilla, but if you recall the openings to the Blake Edwards Pink Panther movies, you’ll have an idea of what we are going for.

The new film, the first family-orientated offering from the Richmond, KY based studio, is slated for world-wide release in the fall of 2010. Santa Claus Versus the Zombies stars Billy W. Blackwell, Alex Del Monacco, Cassidy Rae Owens, Claude Miles, Stacey T. Gillespie, Tony Armstrong, Kayla Perkins, Reaper M. Jones and David Lemoine. Producers on the film are Tammy Bonilla, Todd Burrows, David Sowder and Frank Santoroski.
