Love is never an easy road. And that will be none more apparent when filmmaker Michael Souder makes his directorial debut on BY DAY’S END, a found footage thriller that will mesh the zombie apocalypse with the relationship drama seen from the perspective of a lesbian couple.
Exclusively centered around Carly and Rina’s efforts to mend their deteriorating relationship while trying to survive a pandemic disease that has ravaged the world, the film will aim to tell an emotional love story wrapped around a premise horror fans have grown to love: the zombie survivalist thriller.
Previously a finalist in screenplay competitions including the Creative World Awards and Screencraft Horror, Souder will direct from a script written by himself and co-writer Justin Calen Chenn, creator of genre festival favorite ‘Folklore,’ which starred Ruth Connell (CW’s Supernatural) and Laura Waddell (Saving Mr. Banks) and viral short sensation ‘Sapphire Strange.’
BY DAY’S END will be produced also by Souder and executive producer Joe Wasem through production company, Hunger LLC. Lensing will be done by DOP Benjamin Bertucci and makeup and SFX will be headed by Lillian Vince.
Cast wise, fresh off her win as Best Actress at INK Fest for play ‘Girls. In Boys Pants,’ BY DAY’S END will pair fast rising actresses Lyndsey Lantz and Andrea Nelson (Encounter, Darren Lynn Bousman’s The Devil’s Carnival) in the roles of Carly and Rina respectively.
Rounding out the cast will be up and coming actor Erik A. Williams (Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman’s Viral, The Man in the Maze) and genre veteran Maria Olsen (Paranormal Activity 3, Starry Eyes).
Production on ‘By Day’s End’ will begin in June 2015 and wrap later in the month.
