Fangoria Gets Infected!
Sunday, May 13, 2012 marked the fourth of five shoot dates for Canswer, the second feature film from Arcilesi Films.
With hundreds of applicants via various sites including Facebook and The Toronto Zombie Walk, Mother's Day quickly transformed into a day of zombie mayhem!
Affectionately dubbed "Mombie Day" by the cast and crew, the officially named "GET INFECTED! Zombie Day Event" drew much media attention.
Part of the Infected Horde was Fangoria's own Kelly Michael Stewart who not only brought his mother (or "mombie") to "get infected," but also his mic and camera as he had the chance to chat it up with some of the cast, crew, and eager members of the Infected Horde.
Check out the interview videos on our Official Canswer Page.
