Synopsis
In the secluded Haitian mountains, to the beat of goatskin drums, a scorned wife from Queens steals a peculiar jar of ash from a mischievous voodoo priestess, a jar of ash whose mysteries date back to the Haitian Revolution. Back in Queens, in a gross misjudgment of outsourcing, the wife hires a local crackhead to infect her husband and his mistress with the soul-possessing ash as they take the bus home. Everything goes wrong with carnivorous consequence and Queens becomes prey to a zombie epidemic. Luckily the locals are armed to the teeth and the bodega owner, the army veteran, the drug dealer and the Chinese restauranteur are forced to fight together before the mayor’s office uses the situation for a much more sinister social experiment.

Hedley Harlan
Hedley began her education in opera and dance and she quickly began appearing in music videos, appearing in videos for Natasha Beddingfield, Jay-Z, Seether, Grace Potter, Movielife, The New Tarot and The One Eighties. While shooting in Los Angeles, Hedley started working for Film Fanatics under the helm of director and producer Franz Harland and in partnership with Columbia University. She spent the next five years with the Film Fanatics team, covering film festivals in Havana, Prague, Rome and Cannes and learning about the film industry.
Hedley’s first screenplay, Smash the Kitty starring her and Jason Ritter, was lauded as, “A morally corrupt story about the decline of journalism or, perhaps the entire western civilization, mixing dark humor with an absurdly happy soundtrack.” Hedley’s second film, Late Lunch, a horror comedy, tells of a man who finds a sinister way to stop his wife from giving their money to charity and carved a bloody trail through the horror circuit that year. Hedley also conceptualized and produced music videos, reality pilots and commercials. Hedley’s feature work has won awards at Slamdance, Vancouver, NY Horror, LA International, Oxford, Depth of Field, London, Tahoe and Geneva International in partnership with CERN. Hedley’s writing tends to depict violence and mania with a gleeful wholesomeness and a keen insight to society’s hypocrisies.
As an actor, Hedley has recurred in MTV’s Celebrity Deathmatch, Blacklist Redemption, The Walking Dead: Dead City and, out in 2025, The LONG BRIGHT RIVER opposite Amanda Seyfried.
