DEAD BEFORE DAWN Director APRIL MULLEN, Writer TIM DOIRON

An ancient curse that puts a whole new spin on the horror genre, DEAD BEFORE DAWN slashed onto Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Digital Download October 1 from Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment and Wango Films.

Casper Galloway (Devon Bostick) and his college friends visit an occult shop run by Casper’s grandfather (Christopher Lloyd) and accidentally unleash an evil curse, causing people to kill themselves and turn in to Zombie Demons, aka "Zemons."

Armed with a slew of homemade weapons and a Winnebago, the college kids race through the night, killing Zemons and fighting time while frantically searching for a way to reverse the curse within 24 hours.

As the Zemon army starts to overpower the team, Casper finds himself with no choice but to face his fears and become the unlikeliest of heroes.

Shot entirely in live-action stereoscopic 3D, the feature marks director APRIL MULLEN -- who also co-stars -- as the first and youngest female to direct a film of this kind. April was brought up in the city of wonder Niagara Falls. She left to study at Ryerson Theatre School in Toronto where she received a B.F.A. Honors. She skipped over to the United Kingdom to further her training at the prestigious Royal Welsh College of Drama.

Writer and co-star Tim Doiron and Mullen have made three films together via their Wango Films.
