Excited to share some big news: BLACK ZOMBIE will have its World Premiere at 2026!

From the flickering screens of Hollywood horror to the haunted cane fields of colonial Haiti, BLACK ZOMBIE unearths the buried origins of the zombie, reclaiming it as a symbol of survival and spiritual resistance.

Thank you to all the collaborators, advisors, friends, and family who supported us through this journey. This project has been years in the making, and we can’t wait to share it with the world!
