Alamo Drafthouse - "Don't Talk or Zombies Will Eat You" PSA

[Stephen Mick]

Living in Austin and loving movies, you get a bit spoiled by the Alamo Drafthouse. It's hard to beat a theater that is as crazy about movies as we all are. So, after years of going and sitting through many of the same "Don't Talk" PSAs, I decided to make one. With a very small budget and a very large group of friends, we made this…

Talking during the movie is rude. Having your entrails eaten by the undead is fitting punishment. So Proof Digital Media created this PSA on behalf of our favorite chain of movie houses, Alamo Drafthouse Theaters. They love movies as much as we do, and we all hate it when talkers ruin the experience.

That looks like a fun set! Austin and zombies go together like RED cameras and second mortgages! I'm looking forward to seeing this on the big screen. 4k I presume?

We're working on getting the Alamo folks the 4K files they need. Can't wait to see it on the big screen!

Awesome! We gave Greg some good experience prepping 4k footage for those screens a couple months back. It looked amazing! Congrats!
