As we prepare for the inevitable zombie apocalypse, it would help to understand that our journey of survival will not necessarily be the same as our “neighbors.” In Jondaniel Cornett and Jonathan Frey’s short film, When The Time Comes, a father (Adam Kitchen) sits in a lonely office on a short-band radio. He is wondering if there are any healthy survivors of the zombie outbreak.
“…the father embarks on a perilous journey into the dying world in hopes of retrieving a memento…”
This man’s wife (Rachel Whittle) is around, which would be nice, except for the fact that she’s infected and only has so much time left as herself. So hoping to cheer her up, the father embarks on a perilous journey into the dying world in hopes of retrieving a memento of their past, their daughter’s tape recorder.
I’ve always said that zombie stories are never about the zombies but about the limits we, as humans, face trying to survive and protect the ones we love. When The Time Comes pieces together a simple undead story full of heart and heartbreak. Like a song, they build to the small and large moments of Adam Kitchen’s performance as his character is faced with a dangerous future while finding solace and terror in the past.
