More About "Dead Enders":
Disaffected, young gas-station clerk Maya doesn't care about much besides messing with her manager and getting her beer discount at the end of the midnight shift. But after a sinister race of mind controlling parasites are set loose by irresponsible oil drillers, Maya realizes that there might be more to life than spending all your waking hours stacking shelves for a corporate overlord.

Either way, one of those facehuggers could have crawled up and attached itself to Walt and revived him.
@TheAmericanStandardFilmCo Ай бұрын
We shot a scene like that but couldn't make it work so it wound up on the cutting room floor. When Maya looks through the glass at the end, a bug crawls over onto Walt's face and he starts stacking things again. He's damned to stack things in the gas station until his body physically can't anymore.

The actors each played their part and kept the plot moving. The manager wanking figuratively and literally to his idealized self was a nice touch and added a bit of depth. I had to re-watch the part where she tells the creature heeyyyy 😂. The cops were especially hilarious, particularly the car chat! Great tone, lighting, cinematography and pacing throughout. A bit more tongue in cheek than Clerks and a bit more campy/chill/comic book-ish than Shawn of the Dead but had similar undertones and was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks to everyone in the production!
