Zombie Coin

<Zombie Coin> is a groundbreaking economic black comedy set in a "post-zombie" era where humanity has emerged victorious and gained complete control over the undead. While traditional zombie media focuses on the sudden outbreak and the struggle for survival, this project delves into the dark side of a society that has domesticated zombies as a form of labor and economic capital.In this world, humans no longer fear zombies. Instead, to solve the issues of high labor costs and workforce shortages, zombies are deployed into "3D" jobs—those that are dirty, dangerous, and difficult—which machines cannot yet fully replace. The turning point occurs when "Zombie Coins," originally issued to zombies instead of cash, unexpectedly skyrocket in value, surpassing market capitalization. This triggers a speculative frenzy where "ant" investors bet their entire life savings on the coins, plunging society into madness.The narrative suggests that, ultimately, money and human greed are far more terrifying than any zombie. The interactions between selfless civic groups advocating for zombie rights, selfish entities exploiting them, and the media fueling the investment craze through provocative reporting serve as a sharp critique of modern capitalism. The true disaster strikes not as a natural phenomenon, but when the economic bubble bursts and companies go bankrupt, leading to the escape of quarantined zombies and a new pandemic triggered by human choices.By blending realistic themes such as the "cryptocurrency craze" and entrenched social classes with the zombie genre, <Zombie Coin> transcends simple entertainment to offer a visual "self-portrait of the era," establishing itself as an advanced form of Korean-style black comedy.
