British filmmaking collective Project Trident, who rocked the web with their hilarious short film Gasp, among many others, is now embarking on an ambitious sci-fi comedy feature. Inspired by classic films such as The Day the Earth Stood Still and Withnail & I, director Carl Peck will bring his trademark irreverent wit to the project, a creative mash-up of sci-fi and buddy tropes through the ages. Braveheart star David Gant is taking the leap into extreme Indie filmmaking as the star of the film, claiming “It’s the most exciting script I’ve read for a time.” Sticking to their Do-It-Yourself roots, the group is raising their financing solely through Kickstarter.

The unlikely pair quickly find common ground through their own personal losses, but can they send Lee home before they are consumed by the undead evil just beyond the fence?
