Walking Meat  

Force of Will the Movie, ウォーキング・ミート, Zombie

In this world, there is an interest in eating zombies. they can be prepared in various ways such as stewed, sautéed or squeezed. in another reality, flesh inc., a japanese corporation, has successfully created zombies on their own soil during the 1960s, using techniques from africa. this company made a fortune by selling products related to zombies, including food and cosmetics. however, when three millennials working at flesh inc. get trapped inside an automated zombie farm with their supervisor and a horde of undead creatures, they must overcome generational differences in order to survive.

An irreverent and over-the-top social commentary on too many exotic yet ambiguous ingredients that are marketed in all possible ways by the food industry, Walking Meat humorously portrays the ultimate generational clash between digital natives and analogue-style post-war samurai workers. The short film marks the directorial debut of CG creator Shinya Sugai.Walking Meat was tentatively titled Zombie when it was first announced as part of the now-abandoned Force of Will the Movie project. The short film made its premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in July 2018 before being screened in Japan two months later at Anime Technic Sessions Unlimited for Creators.
