Would Snarky Millennials Podcast Through a Zombie Apocalypse? ‘Didn’t Die’ Examines Processing Grief, Family and the Undead — Sundance

variety.com:

William Earl Meera Menon has directed episodes of some of the biggest series on television, including “The Walking Dead,” “Westworld” and “Ms.

Marvel.” But after she had a baby, she wanted to make a radical departure and revisit the beginning of her career, so she made an indie zombie movie with her best friends.

Now, “Didn’t Die” is debuting on Tuesday night in Sundance’s Midnight section. “It was a spontaneous act of creation in the middle of directing a million different TV episodes that are my bread and butter these days,” she says. “I had a moment to breathe because I had the baby that’s in the film.

I decided to just make something with my friends again, and it was a movie that was made so much in collaboration with the cast.” “Didn’t Die” begins well after a zombie apocalypse has taken place, and humanity has more or less figured out how to coexist and protect themselves from the walking dead.
