The Geekscape Co-Produced ‘Doc of the Dead’ Is Premiering At SXSW 2014!

Yesterday was a big day for Geekscape. I’ve been sitting on the news for a while now, letting you guys know that an announcement was forthcoming, and yesterday SXSW spilled the beans by revealing the first films in their 2014 lineup. Included along with the ‘Veronica Mars’ movie and ‘Chef’ by John Favreau is our Alexandre Philippe directed ‘Doc of the Dead’, which we started shooting way back when in 2012!

As you can see from the below trailer from last year, Geekscape is one of the producers on the film, along with Alexandre’s Exhibit A and the popular Red Letter Media. Epix, the US cable company, is producing the film (and releasing it in the US… details to come). I wrote and directed the ‘Geekscape segments’ in the movie, which you’ll know ’em when you see ’em, and my Geekscape business partner Georg Kallert produced them. Who knows, you might even see a Geekscape character or two pop up in the film!

Regardless, I’m excited for all of you loyal Geekscapists to finally see the film over the coming months. I can’t reveal any of our US or foreign distribution plans yet but suffice to say, if you want to see the film you will definitely get your chance. We’ve worked hard on it, interviewing people like George Romero, Max Brooks, Greg Nicotero, Bruce Campbell and Robert Kirkman and I think you guys will be proud to have helped be a part of it just by continuing to support Geekscape with your visits, word of mouth, listening to the podcast and visiting with us at the various Cons. We’ll see some of you in Austin and the rest of you we’ll see along the way! More to come!
