Touching Zombie Short ‘Cargo’ Garners 3 Million YouTube Hits

Everyone loves a good zombie film and over the last few years some have even managed to poke our funny bone (SHAUN OF THE DEAD, WARM BODIES). Now it seems they’re heading towards sentimentality, if Australian short film CARGO is anything to go by.

Directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke, CARGO made it to the finals of Tropfest, a celebration of short films – and it’s a surprise it didn’t win! Garnering over 3,000,000 views on YouTube, the short shows what one man does to spend his last zombie-free moments with his young daughter (if the bit with the balloon doesn’t have you tearing up, you have no soul).

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
