Some of you may remember earlier, when I reported that we shot a short with Mr. Show’s Paul F. Tompkins and Rich Sommer from Mad Men. Well, it comes out later next week (on the 30^th, save the date!), and let me tell you, sir, it is magnificent. In honor of Sketch of the Dead’s impending release, here are a few more pictures from the fateful day of production. Years from now, we’ll look back on these photos (in some deeply guarded archive, no doubt) and marvel at the humble beginnings of the short that would alter the world as we know it forever (Editor’s note: It probably wont).
