Vegan Straight Edge film maker and host of The Vegan Zombie YouTube channel Chris Cooney is currently working on a full-length zombie movie. The film, entitled A44, was previewed in The Vegan Zombie Cook & Survive cookbook as a graphic novel. Cooney's team is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the estimated $80,000 required to make the film, with a theatrical release planned for late summer or early fall 2019. Watch the promo video below.

After meeting Jerry, a savvy biochemist, he is led to Dr. Hamilton, who has developed THE prototype vaccine. The only problem is funding has been terminated, hindering her research of the virus.
