Directed by actor and director Abe Forsythe, Little Monsters is being shot in Sydney and tells the story of a kindergarten class on a school field trip getting caught up in a zombie outbreak.

“Abe is a brilliant filmmaker and I can’t wait for audiences to fall in love with this original film that is equal parts hilarious, heartwarming and terrifying,” award-winning producer Bruna Papandrea said of the project backed by her company, Made Up Stories.

“We at Made Up Stories have been longtime fans of Lupita’s and Josh’s extraordinary work and we are thrilled that they have come on board alongside Alex.”
