Edward Akbar was supposed to play the survivor, but had to be replaced due to scheduling conflict, so after a few frantic phone calls, we settled on Cep Hendra, a talented actor and stunt performer from Stunt Fighter Indonesia, who did stunt work on Merantau, Serigala Terakhir, Comic 8 - Casino Kings, and Negeri van Oranje.
The role of the young girl and the zombie victim was given to Nurlita Indah Pratiwi and Aulia Eka Octaviany, who happened to be sisters, and they were both suggested by Muhammad Arif, our line producer. The casting turned out to be better than expected, and everybody played their roles very well.
The zombies were provided by Kompi Zombie, with Yonna Kairupan and
Rizky Ramadhan Rais creating the special makeup effects, and since were on a very tight budget, each zombie actor played two roles wearing two different wardrobes!
The special effect makeup brief to Yonna and Rizky is to create freshly-infected zombies, not the ones with advanced decomposition or decay, since it is set during the early stage of the zombie apocalypse.
