Let’s be clear. If you want to make a movie, you can do it. Don’t believe us? then how about watching the new documentary Sam & Mattie Make a Zombie Movie. Two best friends with Down syndrome rally their hometown of Providence to help realize their dream of making a horror film and what’s more, it happens. They don’t give up. The documentary captures this inspiring story of unfiltered optimism, overflowing with gallons of fake blood and DIY spirit.
“I don’t think I’ve ever smiled more while watching a movie in my life,” says Oscar-winning filmmaker Peter Farrelly (Green Book), who serves as executive producer. “Sam and Mattie are superstars!”
Since they met at the Special Olympics, Sam Suchmann and Mattie Zufelt have forged an unbreakable bond fueled by their passion for movies. Sam and Mattie pitched their idea of the ultimate cinematic experience to all who would listen: a racy teen zombie flick they proudly proclaimed would be “the greatest movie ever,” exploding with sex, gore, and more over-the-top violence than you can shake a machete at.
