Zombie Escape

Script: Sebastián Rizzo
Art: Juan Romera

Close-up of six feet running (one belongs to our protagonist, another to his wife, and a few smaller ones to his daughter) Close-up of the protagonist's arms, carrying his baby wrapped in a blanket. Close-up of the protagonist running like crazy while looking back slightly and desperately shouting. PROTAGONIST: RUN! We see all the characters so small that we can't distinguish any of them. Up ahead, we only make out three characters running (the protagonist is holding the baby, but obviously we don't even see him). Behind them, somewhat distant for now, we see a large number of characters chasing them. There are many of them. Like a kind of large horde. In front of the small number of characters (the one fleeing), there is one of those old-fashioned bridges made of wooden planks and rope, quite large, that connects two mountains, and below this kind of precipice runs a wide river. Close-up of a zombie Close-up of another zombie We see our protagonist holding the baby. He's still desperate. He's reaching the bridge. PROTAGONIST: LET'S GO FAMILY! We see the protagonist walking across the bridge carefully but quickly. Let's keep the shots close-up. Behind him, we can see his wife and daughter accompanying him, but showing them very little, without seeing their faces, perhaps because of the camera tilt. Or because something is blocking them. But it shouldn't be too obvious that they're deliberately hiding. Let it be casual. PROTAGONIST: We'll be there soon. Wide panoramic shot. Again We can't make out the faces because it's a very wide shot. The protagonist and his family are about to finish crossing the wobbly bridge. Meanwhile, the pursuers are about to start crossing. PROTAGONIST (without including the balloon arrow, but putting it on the side where they're running): One last effort. We see the desperate protagonist cutting the bridge rope with a machete. If you think it's appropriate, behind him, add a foot or piece of pants or something belonging to his wife or daughter. He's always holding the baby in his arms. PROTAGONIST: Almost there... almost there... We see the face of a threatening zombie, behind it, we see a piece of another zombie that's behind it. PROTAGONIST (off-screen): Come on, come on, they're almost there.. Close-up of the machete finishing cutting the rope. PROTAGONIST (off-screen) YES!!! Wide, panoramic shot. We see that the protagonist and his family remain on the mountain while all their pursuers fall off the cliff or end up on the other side of the mountain. Shot of the machete We see the protagonist happy, he begins to uncover his baby. PROTAGONIST: We did it, family. We see the protagonist kiss the baby on the head. PROTAGONIST: Now we can be at peace.. The protagonist turns to see his wife and daughter We see the protagonist's wife and daughter; they are zombies and are tied to the protagonist by pipes that keep their distance. The machete cuts a pipe We see the protagonist using the machete to cut through one of the pipes that was keeping one of his family members from following him, but not being able to get close enough. PROTAGONIST: And always united We see his family bite the protagonist, who is about to turn into a zombie. Despite this, we see him very happy; he achieved his goal. Take advantage of the opportunity to add some of the pieces of pipe to reinforce the idea. PROTAGONIST: ...like the family we are

THE END
