The SundanceTV Shorts-winning film is a dark comedy about a depressed zombie named Bob and features a raft of local talent including Damon Berry as Bob, Garth Breytenbach as his self-obsessed boss, and Hlubi Mboya and Joe Vaz as fellow zombies trying to make some connections in the big city.
Life’s a Drag airs in a triple bill of SundanceTV’s 2019 award-winning shorts from 8:15 pm, leading in to the usual Sunday night movie slot featuring a festival pedigree movie at 9 pm.
Bob used to be cool. He used to have groupies. He used to have all his body parts. Now, although the undead and the living have reached a truce, Bob’s finding it hard to adjust. Life after death just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. He’s in a dead-end job working for a narcissist, and he hasn’t been laid since before the Apocalypse. Up until now, he’s played by the rules, but Bob is reaching his breaking point, and he’s about to lose his temper. Life’s a Drag offers a hilarious reimagining of a world in the grip of a zombie apocalypse.
