Long time Animation Workshop student David Zipeto has not only completed his zombie epic, he has a screening at the ZOMPIRE FILM FESTIVAL held in Portand, Oregon. The festival is dedicated to films about zombies and vampires, so David's instructional cartoon should impress the horror movie crowd. Congratulations, David!
