Synopsis
Cruising turns to carnage when a legion of towel-clad zombies take over a gay sauna.
A fable in the vein of A Christmas Carol, set in a gay sauna, with zombies. Jacob (Tom
Frederic) is a jaded narcissist who stalks the bathhouse halls looking for his next hookup.
When he finds himself in the midst of a zombie outbreak, his survival may depend on the one thing he didn’t come for: a human connection.
SAUNA THE DEAD – A FAIRY TALE is inspired by mean guys on Grindr and the idea of the
sauna as its own little world. Fusing a love of 80s fantasy adventure movies, Disney and
zombies, first-time writer/director Tom Frederic presents a genre-hopping modern day fairy tale exploring how the way we treat each other creates the worlds we live in. 21 mins, UK
