'Hilarious, disturbing, and remarkable' - Julia Phillips, author of Disappearing Earth

In this gripping tale of contemporary Russia, a young filmmaker and her friends run afoul of a government that ruthlessly oppresses artists who dare to satirize the regime...

When Maya, a young Russian filmmaker, makes a low-budget horror movie with her friends, it seems like a promising start to a career in indie film. Little does she know that her jokey lo-fi satire will soon attract the attention of the autocratic censors at the highest levels of the Russian police state.

What follows is a propulsive narrative of an artist being crushed by state power, and the choices that one makes within a system where free expression is illegal. Written with the unmistakable voice of a dissident emigre from Putin's Russia, The Undead is a courageous, piercing story that serves as a parable, and a warning, about political oppression.
