“Best Young Actors” – Canadian International Comedy Film Festival

“Award of Merit Children/ Family Programming” -IndieFest

“Zombie Bro has a very ‘let’s meet up after work and get filming’ feel to it. I mean that as a compliment. I felt the same way with New Zealand black comedies, Taika Waititi’s What We Do in the Shadows and, to a greater extent, Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste.“ – BRWC Review

ZOMBIE BRO is off to Indianapolis! Come join us and our director at Gen Con 2019. Watch the debut feature film of writer, director, May Grehan and meet her after the screening!

ABOUT THE FILM:
A young girl must enlist her juvenile father to help save the town from her biting brother.

They say blood is thicker than water, but does infected zombie blood count? When Francine catches her brother, Teddie, in the act of attack, she must convince Ma & Pa they’re in danger and worst of all figure out a way to get rid of her beloved brother. Along the way, Francine learns to defend herself, makes a best friend for life, and becomes closer to her idol, her father.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of butterflies as these wonderful winged insects return to The Hilbert Conservatory.

A dazzling array of colors will fill every corner of the conservatory in this brand new show. A breathtaking mobile of giant proportions will twirl overhead as a rainbow of light shimmers in through stained glass panels.

As you walk through the warm, aromatic indoor garden, 40 species of butterflies will flit nearby — and one might even land on you! Each day, hundreds of new butterflies will be released from the chamber with about 13,000 released during the season. Learn about the amazing metamorphosis of these magical creatures — from egg to larva to pupa to butterfly. Then watch as they flutter and drink nectar from stunning glass feeders. Don’t forget your camera to capture the vivid native and exotic varieties (blue morphs, giant owls, zebra longwings, monarchs, and many more) as they swirl around you! Children also will love the new interactive butterfly building station!
