Canadian Zombie Commercials

Canadian Film Fest Shows the Difficulties for Actors in the North

— March 15, 2014 — Pop Culture
The 2014 Canadian Film Fest will be underway in just over a week, and to promote this event the company recently released 'It's Hard Being a Canadian Actor.' Especially if you're a zombie.

The hilarious video follows the story of Antoine Zombe, a real-life zombie who just can't get a break since he's too nice (apparently the downfall of many Canadians). Finally, he breaks this mould and has no hesitations screaming in a director's face. The result? Superstardom and more roles than he can imagine.

This tongue-and-cheek video not only brings attention to the Canadian Film Fest, but also sheds light on how hard it can be for Canadian films and actors to receive international attention (even if you fit the part perfectly).
Trend Themes
1. Canadian Film Fest - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that connects Canadian filmmakers with international distributors to increase the global reach and recognition of Canadian films.
2. Zombie Entertainment - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop immersive and interactive zombie-themed experiences, such as virtual reality games or live-action events, to capitalize on the popularity of zombie culture.
3. International Film Distribution - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a decentralized and transparent film distribution platform using blockchain technology, allowing independent filmmakers to reach global audiences with greater control and fairness.
Industry Implications
1. Film Festivals - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create virtual film festival platforms that provide a seamless online experience for filmmakers to showcase their works and engage with international audiences without geographical limitations.
2. Entertainment Production - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms to automate the creation and production of zombie-themed content, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the entertainment industry.
3. Film Distribution - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop peer-to-peer sharing platforms for film distribution, allowing filmmakers to bypass traditional distribution channels and directly connect with global audiences, enabling greater revenue potential.
