Deadheart (exclusive sneak peak)

Dir/Prod/Wr: Kristy Best | Prod: Katarina Mandic

Deadheart is a town divided. To the North live the Vampires and to the South, the Zombies. This has been the way for almost a century, until now. With the election of a new President, an Assimilation Bill has been rolled out across the country condemning segregation. Years of embedded hate will surge, violence will rear its ugly head and the passionate ignition of romance between a zombie and vampire student is set to break all Hell loose.

Our world has changed... Facebook is here. But are we better off? Whatever happened to human interaction? Asking a girl out in real life? Actually laughing at your friends jokes? Are we really the people we say we are online? I dunno. That's why I made this song... #FSML

An intimate glimpse into the minds of those caught up in the cycle of poverty, addiction and prison, Walk Tall Stand Strong features the voices of Nyoongar men who are determined to succeed despite the obstacles in their way.
