Here at The Zombie Rights Campaign we feel strongly about supporting works of art and media that *don’t* abuse the Differently Animated in these dark times, even more so when the works promote inclusiveness and tolerance.

So when we heard about the 1 Second Film, a massively collaborative effort to produce a 1 second long IMAX film, we were immediately intrigued.

Essentially the way it works is this: the people behind this film, which consists of 24 frames of several very large paintings for one brief second (followed by an hour long documentary on the project over the massive credits list) are raising money via the magic of the internet. Anyone and everyone is welcome to donate to help make the project a reality, which of course means that Zombies, their allies and advocates, and those unfortunately Anti-Zombie individuals alike are all able to participate.

Naturally, this meant the ZRC felt compelled to best a prominent Anti-Zombie figure, and who should appear in the film’s donor list?

Woody Harrelson, star of the odious Living-Supremacist ‘comedy’ Zombieland. He donated $1.

We can top that! And thus, we did. Check out the ZRC’s profile page.

So far, we’ve donated two whole dollars. It’s not much, but it’s twice what the Anti-Zombie movie icon chipped in, so we feel we’re tipping the scales in favor of Zombie Friendliness a little bit at a time here. If anyone else out there wants to help toward our total they’re more than welcome, of course. No pressure.

Update: I forgot to mention, all the money donated goes to a good cause:

Once finished, we plan to have a theatrical premiere. After the premiere, our animation paintings will be on exhibit and then auctioned off. All profits raised by the film and art will be donated to the Global Fund for Women, a non-profit grant making organization that supports Women’s Human Rights around the world. To oversee our project, we started a 501(c)3 non-profit called The Collaboration Foundation. Once finished, participants will be invited to participate in more non-profit collaborations.
