“The Zombie Club,” a JC Films project that was shot mid-July in Bridgeport and surrounding areas is set to premiere Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Bridgeport High School auditorium.
Showtime is 6 p.m. with Dean Cain, who portrays Principal Mazza in the film, doing introductions. Doors open at 5 p.m. for a reception with light appetizers. Tickets are $10 to attend the event with all proceeds to benefit anti-bullying education.
JC Films President/Executive Producer Jason Campbell said he is pleased with the outcome of the movie which focuses on an anti-bullying theme.
“With such a huge interest in the film and kids traveling from all over the region to attend audition and callbacks, we are able to select a fantastic cast and involve everyone who was passionate about being part of this project,” he said. “It was a long hot week of filming, but the kids stayed positive and were great sports. I think this project is going to make some impact.”
Endorsed by the Harrison County Board of Education, the film is a passion project of Campbell’s. After hearing statistics and stories about bullying and resulting tragedies, he wanted to combine a theme which kids are interested in with a message about being inclusive and embracing differences to support one another and work together. The movie co-written by Campbell and Dorian Clevenger.
