Z-Day will always hold a very near and dear place in our hearts, for not only was it the very first film project we ever made together (and in less than 48 hours no less), but it also gave the world it's very first glimpse of the existential anti-hero of Mad Ones Films, Mr. Ben Jones.

SYNOPSIS
Meet Dean. Dean draws comic books but it's the words written in the margins of a book of used love poetry that have him smitten... much to the chagrin of his best friend/sidekick Ben Jones, a TV personality whose obsessive delusions of grandeur revolve entirely around the inevitable zombie revolution... Z-Day.
