On Friday, May 21st  - Fremont Outdoor Movies teamed up with the Seattle International Film Festival and ZomBcon to create one of the most unique movie experiences Seattle ever seen. In the honor of George A. Romero’s newest film SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD’s West Coast premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival, it seemed fiitting that a Zombie walk was in order. Thanks to Ryan Reiter, Artistic Director of the Fremont Outdoor Movies and ZomBcon, along with Eric Pope of the Seattle Zombie Walk that threw a great SIFF kick off party in Seattle’s popular Capitol Hill neighborhood at Boom Noodle.

“Talk about some serious fun at a film festival ” says Reiter who has worked with some of the most prestigious festivasl in the world like Sundance, AFI FEST, Los Angeles Film Festival and Vancouver International Film Festival in year’s past.

“You simply can not have this much fun at a film festival like you can at SIFF, they have been 100% supportive of supporting creative ideas in reaching an audience that offers an experience” mentions Reiter. This entire event was created by a grass roots effort built on fan participation and with this kind of response that is magnetic.

Over 200 people showed up for the party and hung out over drinks and jello brain shots to tame the appetites of the hungriest Zombies. The walk garnered some amazing shots that can be seen at the Facebook photo album here. SIFF screened the film to a sold out crowd for their midnight screening at the infamous Egyptian Theatre on Capitol Hill.

The event was organized by the Fremont Outdoor Movies, ZomBcon, Seattle International Film Festival and Seattle Zombie Walk.
