Little Monsters
Director: Abe Forsythe (“Down Under,” “Ned”)
Cast: Lupita Nyong’o, Josh Gad, Alexander England, David Sinclair-Smith
Details: A zombie rom com? You’d better believe it. One of Australia’s most promising young actors, Abe Forsythe, made a shift into filmmaking fifteen years ago with the release of the little seen and under appreciated Ned Kelly comedy “Ned”. Well over a decade later he returned with “Down Under,” an often challenging dark farce about one of Australia’s ugliest incidents – the Cronulla race riots.

For his third go behind the camera, Forsythe steps into genre filmmaking with this tale of a washed-up musician (Alexander England) who teams up with a plucky teacher (Lupita N’yongo) and a kids show host (Josh Gad) to protect a kindergarten class from a sudden outbreak of zombies during a school excursion to a farm. The tiny Aussie comedy managed to attract N’yongo and Gad thanks to a strong script. Hopefully, it’ll get a festival launch and buzz ahead of a theatrical release.
