As I posted in passing last month, Matthew has lent his voice to the character of Nigel in Night of the Loving Dead. Today I have a few more details to share with you. The film was made by the National Film and Television School, is 8 minutes and 53 second long and is a 2D Computer-Generated Silhouette Animation (similar to The Tale of the Three Brothers in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.) The synopsis of the short is as follows:
A zombie movie with more heart than brains.
Nigel is a lovesick teenager living under the tyranny of his wicked sex-obsessed stepmother, Barbara. But he gets more than he bargained for on Valentine’s Eve when he accidentally brings his old girlfriend, Felicity, back from the dead.
A high resolution promotional photo of Matthew’s character Nigel and his dead girlfirend, Felicity, may be seen in the gallery as well as a poster.
The film is also going to be part of the Annecy Film Festival in June, it is one of the “Official Selections” under the Graduate Film category; it’s page may be seen here. There is a large possibility that the short will be screened during the festival but the program has not been released as of yet.
I am trying to find out more information, such as a release date (if any) and will post as soon as I find out more. I am not sure the film will ever be released publicly as it was part of a school project, but perhaps if there is enough interest they will release it.
