Would you survive a zombie apocalypse… or be the first one gone? 🧟‍♂️

Actors Richard Tate and Erin Zipse from Tomorrow Undead sit down for a fast, unfiltered Q&A where the answers get honest real quick. From their biggest fears (aliens vs zombies 👀) to calling out which cast and crew members might actually make it out alive, this is a glimpse at the people behind the chaos.

And when it comes down to it… how do they describe Tomorrow Undead in one sentence?

🎬 ABOUT THIS FILM:

🎥What a cool private event at Pollack Cinemas in Tempe.
We packed the house with friends, family, collaborators, and the casts and crews from the past three years to celebrate six short films: F69, Lights, City of Stars, Rusalka, Help Us, and Tomorrow Undead.
We also had the chance to showcase Monique Michelle and Jeff Lane’s film The Last Train, which was a great way to round out the program. It’s easy to spend years grinding away on indy films and forget to stop and look around at what’s actually been built. Seeing that many people in one room who helped bring these projects to life was incredible.
Grateful to everyone who came out and to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far. Moments like this don’t happen often. To be in a room filled with people who have shaped your creative life is something I won’t forget. Grateful for all of you, and excited for what comes next.

🎥2025 Year in Review — Film Loft Productions 🎬
2025 was a big one for Film Loft Productions. New projects, new festivals, and new (and returning) collaborators we were excited to work with.
Here’s a look back:
🧟‍♂️ Tomorrow Undead
We screened at eight festivals and took home six category wins.
We built relationships with outstanding horror festivals—Houston Horror Film Fest, Chicago Horror Film Festival, and HorrOrigins—and reached new audiences at Tucson Terror Fest, Scream Fest NOLA, Everything Holiday Film Festival, and Milwaukee Independent Film Awards.
This year we also had the chance to collaborate with Jesse Fox and Stephanie Fox, who joined Tomorrow Undead as executive producers and brought fresh energy and insight to the film’s journey. We continued that partnership on Help Us, where they again supported the project as executive producers.
🩸 Help Us
Our 2025 entry for the Jakob Owens Horror Short Film Contest landed in the Top 25. Stay tuned for the director’s cut, which dives deeper into the full story.
🌊 Rusalka
Our 2024 Jakob Owens entry Rusalka screened at Spooky Empire Horror Film Festival in Orlando, Florida this year—bringing our myth-driven horror short to new audiences.
✨ Lights
We brought Lights back to where it was shot, screening at the Mesa International Film Festival. A true full-circle moment for our first short.
Thank you to the actors, crew, producers, festival teams, and every collaborator who shaped 2025.

When I finished Lights and started submitting to festivals back in 2023, our true north was always the Mesa International Film Festival — and last night, we got to have a showing right here in Mesa. 🏜️
Nearly every frame of this film was shot in Arizona, including our penultimate scene in downtown Mesa, so bringing it home on the big screen was the perfect way to close this special film’s festival run. Full of magical realism, the supernatural and sentiment- Lights is truly a film from my heart.
Grateful to the Mesa Film Festival team, the coordinators, and everyone who made this screening possible. Seeing our film play in the very city where it was made was more than a showing — it was a homecoming. 🎄🎥
