Dance of the Living Dead

USA / 2017 / 12 mins

Synopsis

Musical artist White Widow re-creates George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead as an exhilarating 12 minute rock opera, transforming the story of a black man fighting to survive a night in zombie hell into a modern metaphor of the fear, racism, and violence that threaten to overwhelm us.

White Widow

White Widow (Carla Patullo), is an award winning composer and songstress for the screen. She has developed a reputation for her musical ambition, sonic soundscapes, stirring emotional content and sheer originality. Her roots began on the NYC punk rock scene, taking off from the legendary CBGBs.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL described her music as “angst-drenched indie rock that ranges from the bombasitc to intimate...”

CURVE MAGAZINE writes “Patullo [White Widow] exudes a ballsy, rock chick vibe and her music is infectious and mainstream-friendly. You always get the feeling she is one step away from going over the edge, but she never does.”
