PROJECT DETAILS

Broadcast Horror / Dark Comedy

Short Film Non Union
Los Angeles
Synopsis:

An old Armenian TV station in Hollywood prepares for a routine evening broadcast when a cameraman encounters something terrifying outside the station. As communication systems begin to fail and panic spreads through the city, a small group of TV workers finds themselves trapped inside the building during the early moments of a zombie outbreak. As the situation spirals out of control, the staff must decide whether to flee, survive, or continue broadcasting to the public while the world collapses around them. BROADCAST is a contained horror-comedy set almost entirely inside a television station location in Hollywood. The project combines suspense, dark humor, practical effects, and social satire. Seeking actors comfortable with both horror and comedy. Strong naturalistic performances are preferred over theatrical acting.
