Dear Beautiful

I loves me some zombies, because I fear them the most.

In Roland Becerra's lovely animated short, Dear Beautiful (which is being turned into a full-length movie), Paul is a married man whose marriage is in trouble. When Paul's wife sniffs a deadly new flower that is popping up all over their home state of Connecticut, the contaminated flower (tarnished by a nearby make-up laboratory) slowly turns Paul's beloved into a crazed zombie. Unable to accept her transformation, Paul goes about living his life with his zombie wife, much to the horror of his friends and family.

Becerra's animation is at times scary-real, and hard to tell the difference between the drawings and live film (it's not). The original animated short made its way through the festivals and can be viewed at Moving Pictures Magazine.
