It takes place in a school gym filled with gnashing undead and festooned with decorations for a holiday pageant.

Ella Hunt.

Hunt was working her way through it when the casting director intervened.

Okay, Im going to stop you there, Hunt recalls Sophie Holland telling her.

Its a film that glorifies friendship as opposed to teenage romance, Hunt tells Vulture.

(Her character, Sue, is the best friend of Steinfelds Emily Dickinson.)

Ive kind of got my balance.

Im kind of getting used to the feel of the wave.

Im just trying to navigate it as smoothly as possible, but I feel very well-supported.

And this isnt exactly overnight success.

Youve been working for about a decade already.Thank you for respecting that Ive been doing this for ten years.

Its very nice when somebody actually notices.

But yeah, its weird and its all so much, but its exciting.

And thank God Im loving it!

I didnt expect it to come out in cinemas.

I didnt expect anyone to see.

I expected my friends to laugh at me that I was doing it.

Ella, just speak freely.Well then, its fucking awesome!

Its such a relief!

Its a relief to be pressing the fuck out of something that I loved making.

Im actually being genuine when I say that this was the greatest joy to make.

And youve walked into a very welcoming atmosphere.

Genre fans are extremely passionate.So passionate!

Not necessarily horror films or musicals I mean, anything and everything that breaks the mold.

They didnt want to speak to their families, didnt have relationships with them.

Yeah, there are films that dont do that, and Im so grateful to have had those.

Cold Feetwas a great opportunity.

Its a bit shit.

It would be great if Zac Efron was eaten by zombies!

I think the conversation went something like that.

I mean, I wasnt there.

So they made a short film calledZombie Musicalthat won the best short film BAFTA.

And he said yes.

I feel very lucky to be part of that group of young people.
