TAMPA, FL — Beware: the walking dead are invading Tampa Bay. A zombie comedy directed by Tampa Bay radio personality Maurice Jovan of 102.5 The Bone is being filmed in Tampa Bay using Cox Radio Studios.

“I am extremely proud that I was able to assemble a collective of talent in all aspects of filmmaking right here in Tampa Bay comparable to that in Hollywood,” said Jovan.

Taking a page out of '80s comedy films, as well as classic zombie movies, "W.D.E.D. Dead in the Morning" follows a failing radio morning show crew who will stop at nothing to boost their ratings and keep their jobs by capitalizing on an impending zombie outbreak.

As this unlikely group of survivors takes on an army of undead listeners that besiege the radio station, the laughs get bigger, and the stereotypes balloon into a full-blown absurdity.

“'W.D.E.D. Dead in the Morning' is a stylistic mash-up of "Clerks" meets 'Shaun of the Dead,'” said Jovan. “This film pays homage to the classic comedy and zombie films that I fell in love with as a young man.”

"W.D.E.D. Dead in the Morning" will premiere at a Florida film festival in the spring.
