The mob faces off against the undead in the award-winning horror-comedy Witness Infection, coming your way this March from director Andy Palmer (Camp Cold Brook) and writers Carlos Alazraqui (“Rocko’s Modern Life”) and Jill-Michele Melean (“Mad TV”).
Witness Infection tells the story “of two rival mob families who are transferred from the Witness Protection Program to the same city by mistake. Life has always been pretty protected for Carlo Serrelli. But his past is about to come back and bite him. Carlo’s father has kept him out of the deadly mob business by giving him a job at the family dog groomers, while his younger brother, Dominic, has always done the dirty work.
All that is coming to an end as Carlo’s father has to force him into an arranged marriage with the daughter of the rival Miola family boss. Carlo’s two best friends, Gina and Vince, vow to help him get out of this predicament, but they all get in way over their heads when a serious infection starts eating the town. The good news is that Carlo may not have to get married after all — but the bad news is that everyone might die.”
Tara Strong (“Teen Titans”, “The Powerpuff Girls”), and Maurice LaMarche (“Pinky and the Brain”, “Futurama”) star along with Carlos(“Rocko’s Modern Life”, Jill-Michele Melean (“MadTV”, White/Latina), Robert Belushi (“How I Met Your Mother”, Sorority Row), Bret Ernst (“Cobra Kai”), Erinn Hayes (“Children’s Hospital”, “Medical Police”, “Kevin Can Wait”), Monique Coleman (the High School Musical franchise, “Dancing With the Stars”), and Joseph D. Reitman (“Happy!”, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).
Witness Infection was produced by Alazraqui, Melean, and Warner Davis.
I’m so excited for the release of my third feature collaboration with Carlos Alazraqui. And the fact that he and Jill-Michele Melean trusted me to bring one of their scripts, Witness Infection, to life makes it all the more special,” said filmmaker Andy Palmer. “I’m extremely proud of Witness Infection, and hopefully we do for eating sausages from a questionable looking food truck what Jaws did for swimming.”
Witness Infection is out on digital HD, cable, satellite platforms, and DVD on March 30, 2021 through Freestyle Digital Media.
