Tomorrow night a version of the below (which was filmed in France) will be taking place in Brooklyn. Paul Notzold, Visual Goodness, and Soren Sorensen took the classic horror flick, Night of the Living Dead, and broke it down into an interactive graphic story with original dialogue provided by...you!
While watching the film you text message in the next line of speech, prompting the movie to play forward and your message to appear on the big screen. There are 500 frames in this version of the film, 150 of which contain text bubbles -- it'll be like your own personal Mystery Science Theater 3000! Start thinking of your best zombie expressions, more info on tomorrow night's event here.
