Short Film: Cargo


"Cargo" Directed by Ben Howling & Yolanda Ramke

"Cargo" is a heartbreaking tale of survival that breathes some new life into the old tropes of zombie horror films.  "Cargo" shifts its focus from zombies, chase scene, and hacking violence in favor of a story of a father carrying a helpless child on his back running through the woods from unseen pursuers.  The result is a very meditative film that builds an immense amount of tension without any dialog.

Accompanied by lovely, ethereal music and beautiful hand-held cinematography, it’s a beautiful piece.  By the end, you may very well be fighting back tears, despite being a film featuring the flesh eating undead.
"Stranded in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, a man sets in motion an unlikely plan to protect his precious daughter."
