Zombie movies make reluctant heroes out of everyday people. Now, one of those everyday people is hoping to make his very own zombie film. Brandon Prewitt is filming his zombie comedic short, “Dough of the Dead,” at Spin Pizza in Lee’s Summit this morning.

The film, Prewitt’s graduation project for his master’s degree in mass communications from the University of Central Missouri, started as a simple question: What would happen if zombies attacked Spin Pizza while Prewitt (who has been an employee there for four years) was working. The dialogue and characters for the 30-minute movie were inspired by Prewitt’s co-workers. He wrote the screenplay last year and began production on the project in 2012.

If you’re interested in being an extra in the film, Prewitt needs bodies for the restaurant scenes being filmed at 10:30 p.m. tomorrow and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. You can find more information here.
