Star crew - October 2007
1. Make-up Artist, Hannah Ingleby - will be leading the make-up design for the forth coming short drama.
"The make up for the zombies; I believe that obviously the zombies are evil, scary, angry looking. Which to me I think that is a frown of eyebrows, flarred nostrils, a not quite 'all there look', a deepset look of the eyes. This is what I'm trying to create for the zombies in Cinema of Horror, its all fairly simple prosthetics to help with the budget!"
