Where will you be when the zombie apocalypse becomes a nightmarish reality? What if you were all alone, in the picturesque wilderness of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, with no explanation of the madness that was overtaking the world around you?
This is the premise of the amazing horrormentary I Am Alone, which stars Gareth David-Lloyd as survivalist Jacob Fitts and Gunner Wright as producer Mason Riley. The story is told from the dual perspectives of Jacob, who is meant to spend seven days alone in the wilderness shooting footage for his reality tv show, and Mason, who has witnessed the terror of "the afflicted" overtaking a small town in Colorado and is now forced to watch Jacob's footage in the basement of a CDC compound where scientists are struggling to find the answers - and possibly a solution to the chaos that has erupted worldwide.

It's easy to see why this unique zombie film has captured the imagination and accolades of horror fans and festivals around the world. Gareth's character undergoes an incredible metamorphosis, from the good-natured, optimistic survivalist to the shell-shocked man who must come to grips with the imminence of his own demise after he is attacked in the woods. Gunner's character is equally transformed, from the driven television producer to the victim who has supposedly survived but must still live with the horrors he experienced and the uncertainty of the future.
The end of the story doesn't feel like an end at all - it definitely leaves the viewer hungry for more! I'll be anxiously awaiting the sequel, and you will be too once you experience the emotional rollercoaster that is I Am Alone!
