Ab Film Review & The Last New Wave

Matt Mirams is a indie creative who has over two decades of experience as a musician, actor, director, theatresports enthusiast, and independent filmmaker. His latest film, Residence, is a bloody zombie comedy that sees Australia inflicted by a brain eating parasite that turns its hosts into mindless zombies that wander the countryside looking for their next victim.It's also a biting satire about the consumerist world we live in, asking whether it's the mind-sapping parasites that have turned us into mindless beings, or whether it's our reliance on technology and automation that has sucked our engagement levels down to zero.In the following interview, edited for length purposes, Matt talks about his journey into filmmaking, what his drive is as an indie filmmaker, and what it means to be able to work with a huge cast of emerging talent, some of whom share the screen with industry legends like Ian Smith and Don Bridges. Matt gets open and honest about the difficulties of releasing a film in todays landscape, h
