SANTA CLAUS VERSUS THE ZOMBIES to be Released Using New 3-D Process

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Richmond, KY: September 1, 2010 – ZP International Motion Pictures made the stunning announcement today that their latest feature film, Santa Claus Versus the Zombies, will be released in 3-D.

Utilizing a new cutting-edge 3-D conversion process, ZP International’s new film brings the 3-D experience to the home viewer without having to purchase any equipment other than a standard DVD player. Santa Claus Versus the Zombies will be the first motion picture to be released with this new 3-D conversion process.

ZP International CEO George Bonilla stated “We have been working with inventors Randy French and Daniel Widener, as they have developed this 3-D conversion process. We had tested an early version of their 3-D conversion. Since then, they have really upped the ante. With continued research and development, they have created a 3-D experience that rivals what the major studios are putting out now.”

“We are very excited to be able to make this announcement. I have to say, the finished product is spectacular. Randy and Daniel have really done some fine work with this 3-D conversion process. This will open many doors for the Independent filmmaker looking to take their work to the next level.”

Co-inventor Randy French stated, “We are very happy to be working with the ZP International team. Everyone is extremely creative and we have future plans in the works on pushing the 3-D world to its maximum potential”

Santa Claus versus the Zombies is the tenth film from the Richmond, KY based film studio. The film is the first family-friendly release from Bonilla and company, who are best known for horror and thrillers like Zombie Planet, Hell-ephone, Monstrosity, and the award-winning film, The Edison Death Machine.

The film was shot entirely in the state of Kentucky at locations in Berea, Richmond, Irvine, and Frankfort.

The horror-comedy film, written and directed by Bonilla, tells the story of a suburban family trapped in their home following a Zombie Plague. Along for the ride are a couple of elves, and an actor that just might be the real Santa Claus. They struggle against zombie attacks, as the President hatches a plan to rescue Santa and save Christmas for all of humanity.

The film stars Billy W. Blackwell, Alex del Monacco, Cassidy Rae Owens, David LeMoine, Claude Miles, Stacey T. Gillespie, Tony Armstrong, Kayla Perkins and Frank Santoroski. Producers on the project include Tammy Bonilla, Todd Burrows, and David Sowder.

This fun holiday film is slated for a world-wide release in both standard and 3-D versions in November 2010, just in time for families to enjoy during the holidays. More information about ZP International, George Bonilla, and their films is available at www.zpmovies.com
