I was surprised by this five minute short for a couple of reasons. First, it is not a zombie/horror script but more of a drama, or even a tragic love story. David keeps his zombie wife tied up in the basement, waiting for a cure. Her zombie-ism could easily represent any sickness or condition that a person may have. His love for her is so great that he goes to extreme measures to save her. For a five minute short, this film packed in a lot of emotion. Kudos to the writer for bringing us into a world so quickly.
Production on this short was very professional. Make-up, lighting, sound, editing were all professional. From start to finish, you would have to nit-pick to find a fault with Not Even Death.
