Attending a funeral of a loved one is an extremely difficult moment in any person’s life. But no funeral is quite as difficult as the one depicted in Brian Lonano‘s gory short film Welcome to Dignity Pastures.

The prolific and always very creative Lonano dreams up an original twist on the zombie genre and explores it with the typical sense of fun and extreme dread that the filmmaker has come to be known for.

For those wondering about the film’s title, yes, this is Lonano’s entry into the ABCs of Death 2 directing competition, the winner of which will see his or her short film included in the upcoming anthology sequel. If you enjoyed this film, go to its entry page on the ABCs of Death website and vote for it. Please do, as Lonano is an excellent filmmaker we’ve been championing for a long time on the Underground Film Journal and who really deserves this wider exposure.
