“Young lady of the Dead” tells the story of Robert, a survivor of a zombie apocalypse, who struggles to keep his relationship present with his zombie girlfriend, Marcy. Classic zombie movies and Yale’s Gothic architecture inspired the end of shooting a zombie film on campus, Szaniawski said.
“I was teaching a category on horror film during Yale Summer Session [two years ago], and a pile of students, inspired by films such as ‘Night of the Living Expired’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead,’ got in the end excited about the idea of making a zombie film at Yale,” Szaniawski said.
The following semester, Szaniawksi formed a bundle that met weekly to brainstorm ideas and watch and analyze films in demanded to crystallize their own idea. Though originally inspired by Yale’s architecture, the body was faced with the complexities of shooting scenes on location, Sarnoski said. While the film was inoculation between Sprague and Harkness halls, at Payne Whitney Gymnasium and at Anna Liffey’s on Whitney Avenue, in totalling to having some sound captures on Science Hill, Sarnoski added that viewers should not look too closely for open signs of campus architecture in the film.
