Sam & Mattie Make a Zombie Movie is now available on Cable VOD and Digital HD streaming platforms. The remarkable true story of two best friends who managed to enlist their entire home town to make a horror film is garnering a lot of praise.

Sam Suchmann and Mattie Zufelt met at Special Olympics Camp  and became immediate friends, bonding over their love of movies. It wasn’t long before they decided to make a movie of their own, and they told their idea to everyone who would sit sit still long enough to listen. Eventually, they enlisted Sam’s older brother, Jesse, who contacted some of his filmmaking friends, and before long all of Providence, RI was involved in the making of Spring Break Zombie Massacre.

“This is just one of those magical stories,” says co-director and director of Spring Break Zombie MassacreBobby Carnevale. “We started out thinking we’d be filming their movie with iPhones and ketchup, but Sam and Mattie’s big dreams were infectious, so everyone offered to pitch in. The fact that we ended up with such an incredible film proves that when you bring the right people together, you can do anything.”

Narrated by Jesse, Sam & Mattie Make a Zombie Movie chronicles the entire process of bringing the duo’s film to life from their early days with a successful Kickstarter campaign that captured the attention of Oscar winner Peter Farrelly through guest appearances on television shows including Conan and ultimately to finally presenting their film to the world!

“I don’t think I’ve ever smiled more while watching a movie in my life,” Farrelly, who serves as executive producer on the film, said.. “Sam and Mattie are superstars!”
