Following the success of the short film Cupcake: A Zombie Lesbian Musical (see all there is to know about it here), the film’s writer and director, Rebecca Thomson pitched the idea for the feature length version to hundreds of producers at the Screen Producers Association of Australia Conference 2012 where she won the Holding Redlich Pitch Competition. This prize included a trip to Cannes Film Festival, so Rebecca headed off in May 2013 armed with pitch books, DVDs and vagina lollipops to wow the punters.


Rebecca and Producer Rogan Brown have secured script development funding from Screen Tasmania, and attracted acclaimed producer Martin Brown (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!) as Executive Producer and hot new talent Carrie McLean as screenwriter. Multi-award winning composer Heath Brown will write the music, and Joan Sauers (Rake, 100 Bloody Acres, The Babadook)is currently working with the team as Script Editor.

Can love overcome prejudice?


Diana, brilliant bio-chemist, perfectionist and embarrassed lesbian, refuses to "wed" her beloved Marion alongside hundreds of other same-sex couples at a mass faux wedding. The ceremony, with Marion at the helm, is to demonstrate the commitment of the gay lovers as the Tasmanian Government prepares to vote on the bill to legalise same-sex marriage. Love-hearts and rainbows abound.


But while working in her laboratory on the cure for the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease, Diana discovers a high level conspiracy, headed by the evil Dr Cain, to eradicate all the left-wingers, poofs, dykes, artists, bogans, radical “greenies” - in fact the entire population of “basket case” Tasmania. Hell will be unleashed at the faux wedding in the form of a strain of the Devil disease, turning everyone into flesh-devouring, tumour-ridden zombies.



In an attempt to save Marion, Diana singlehandedly destroys the faux wedding, but fails to stop the virus from being released. As flamboyant wedding dresses get bloodier, bride eats bride and groom devours groom, Diana must find a cure to stop the carnage.


However, fighting the insatiable zombies, and the evil Dr. Cain, is one thing. What proves harder for Diana is fighting her own prejudice. In order to save her relationship with Marion, she needs to realise that perfection is unattainable, that being gay is not a defect, and that you can love someone who's imperfect - even yourself.


Featuring bound-to-be classic songs such as No Penis Between Us, Let’s Wipe the Map of Tassie Off the Map, and My Girlfriend Ate My Pussy, Literally, this film explores the universal themes of love, prejudice and equality, but does so in a way that is outrageously naughty, hilariously irreverent and just bloody entertaining …


…it’s The Zombie Lesbian Musical!


A brilliant bio-chemist battles prejudice, a deadly conspiracy to annihilate Tasmania, and hordes of hungry zombies all so she can be with the woman of her dreams.
